'Guards' in the Bible

(one third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one third at the gate behind the guards), shall keep watch over the house for defense.

The guards stood each with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.

He took the captains of hundreds and the Carites and the guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
