This is what you must do. One third of you priests and Levites who are on duty during the Sabbath will guard the doors.

When Athaliah heard the royal guard shouting and praising the king, she joined the crowd at the Lord's temple.

Kore son of Imnah, a Levite and the guard on the east side, was in charge of the voluntary offerings made to God and disbursed the contributions made to the Lord and the consecrated items.
