Bible verse
Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 11:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Kings 11.
6 a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7 the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8 You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9 So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
11 And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12 Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
14 And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
