2 Kings 11 4-2 Kings 11 12
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent messengers and brought in the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards. He had them come to him in the Lord’s temple, where he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s sonand commanded them,“ This is what you are to do: a third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath are to provide protection for the king’s palace.A third are to be at the Sur gate and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns providing protection for the palace.“ Your two divisions that go off duty on the Sabbath are to provide protection for the Lord’s temple.You must completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who approaches the ranks is to be put to death. You must be with the king in all his daily tasks.”So the commanders of hundreds did everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each brought their men— those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty— and went to Jehoiada the priest.The priest gave to the commanders of hundreds King David’s spears and shields that were in the Lord’s temple.Then the guards stood with their weapons in hand surrounding the king— from the right side of the temple to the left side, by the altar and by the temple.He brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony, and made him king. They anointed him and clapped their hands and cried,“ Long live the king!”

These were the sons of Levi by their ancestral houses— the heads of families, according to their registration by name in the headcount— 20 years old or more, who worked in the service of the Lord’s temple.For David said,“ The Lord God of Israel has given rest to His people, and He has come to stay in Jerusalem forever.Also, the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the equipment for its service”—for according to the last words of David, the Levites 20 years old or more were to be counted—“ but their duty will be to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the Lord’s temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God’s temple—as well as the rows of the bread of the Presence, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of volume and length.They are also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise in the evening.Whenever burnt offerings are offered to the Lord on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed festivals, they are to do so regularly in the Lord’s presence according to the number prescribed for them.They are to carry out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting, for the holy place, and for their relatives, the sons of Aaron, in the service of the Lord’s temple.”

Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength.Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil.For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest,and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word.Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

2 Chronicles 23 1-2 Chronicles 23 11
Then, in the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned his courage and took the commanders of hundreds into a covenant with him: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.They made a circuit throughout Judah. They gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.Then the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s temple. Jehoiada said to them,“ Here is the king’s son! He must reign, just as the Lord promised concerning David’s sons.This is what you are to do: a third of you, priests and Levites who are coming on duty on the Sabbath, are to be gatekeepers.A third are to be at the king’s palace, and a third are to be at the Foundation Gate, and all the troops will be in the courtyards of the Lord’s temple.No one is to enter the Lord’s temple but the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are holy, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the Lord.You must completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who enters the temple is to be put to death. You must be with the king in all his daily tasks.”So the commanders of hundreds did everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each brought their men— those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty on the Sabbath— for Jehoiada the priest did not release the divisions.Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds King David’s spears, shields, and quivers that were in God’s temple.Then he stationed all the troops with their weapons in hand surrounding the king— from the right side of the temple to the left side, by the altar and by the temple.They brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and cried,“ Long live the king!”
