2 Chronicles 23:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ Jehoiada posted a watch^[a] over the House of the Lord. It was under the supervision of the levitical priests, whom David had given assignments in the House of the Lord to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and singing as David had directed. ¹⁹ He stationed the gatekeepers at the gates of the House of the Lord, so that no one could enter if he was unclean in any way.

²⁰ He took the commanders of the hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land. He brought the king down from the House of the Lord. They came through the upper gate of the palace of the king. They seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
