The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 2Ch 23:81Ch 26:262Ki 11:4 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house. 2Sa 8:71Ch 18:71Ch 26:26-271Sa 21:92Ch 23:9-102Ch 5:1 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king. 2Ch 6:122Ki 11:102Ki 11:8Exo 40:6Ezk 8:16Jol 2:17Luk 11:51Mat 23:35 Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!” 1Sa 10:24Exo 25:161Ki 1:392Sa 1:10Exo 31:181Sa 10:12Ki 11:22Sa 16:16
