ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૩:૫
અને બીજા એક તૃતીયાંશ ભાગે રાજાના મહેલ આગળ ખડા રહેવું; બાકીના ત્રીજા ભાગે ઘોડાના દરવાજા આગળ ઊભા રહેવું. બધા લોકોએ ઈશ્વરના સભાસ્થાનના આંગણામાં રહેવું.
हिन्दी2 इतिहास २३:५
एक तिहाई लोग राजभवन में रहें, और एक तिहाई लोग नींव के फाटक के पास रहें; और सब लोग यहोवा के भवन के आँगनों में रहें।

In context

3All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.

4This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.

5A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.

6But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.

7The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
