8 The Levites and all Judah did exactly what Je·hoiʹa·da the priest had commanded. So each one took his men who were on duty on the Sabbath, together with those who were off duty on the Sabbath,+ for Je·hoiʹa·da the priest had not dismissed the divisions+ from their duty. 9 Je·hoiʹa·da the priest then gave the chiefs of hundreds+ the spears and the bucklers* and the circular shields that had belonged to King David,+ which were in the house of the true God.+ 10 He then stationed all the people, each with his weapon* in hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, all around the king. 11 Then they brought the king’s son+ out and put on him the crown* and the Testimony*+ and made him king, and Je·hoiʹa·da and his sons anointed him. Then they said: “Long live the king!”+
