'Guards' in the Bible

For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.

"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"

The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

When Herod had sought for him, and didn't find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
