Jehoiada said to them, “The king’s son shall reign, as the Lord promised concerning the descendants of David.2 Chr 23:4Now this is what you are to do: A third of you, priests and Levites, who are on duty on the Sabbath, are to guard the doors;2 Chr 23:5a third are to be at the royal palace; and a third at the Foundation Gate.
