2 Kings11:8
8 And ye shall compass the king round about , every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges , let him be slain; and be ye with the king as he goeth out, and as he cometh in .
When you have set your Watches, and Guards, all the rest of you shall draw near to the King to preserve his Royal Person from all Assaults and Dangers.
Or, Fences, i. e. the Walls wherewith the Courts of the Temple were Invironed: See ver. 15. Or, your Ranks or Order. If any of Athaliah's Guards shall attempt to break in upon you, or within your Bounds.
Whether the King shall go out of the Temple, to offend, or subdue his Enemies; or retire hither to Defend himself; do you always accompany him.
