- 第七年,耶何耶大奋勇自强,将百夫长耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅,约哈难的儿子以实玛利,俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅,亚大雅的儿子玛西雅,细基利的儿子以利沙法召来,与他们立约。
- 他们走遍犹大,从犹大各城里招聚利未人和以色列的众族长到耶路撒冷来。
- 会众在神殿里与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说,看哪,王的儿子必当作王,正如耶和华指着大卫子孙所应许的话。
- 又说,你们当这样行,祭司和利未人凡安息日进班的,三分之一要把守各门,
- 三分之一要在王宫,三分之一要在基址门。众百姓要在耶和华殿的院内。

- Now in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.
- They went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers' households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
- Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
- "This is the thing which you shall do: one third of you, of the priests and Levites who come in on the sabbath, shall be gatekeepers,
- and one third shall be at the king's house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
