ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૩:૭
લેવીઓએ પોતપોતાની તલવાર હાથમાં રાખીને રાજાની આસપાસ ઊભા રહેવું. જે કોઈ ઘરમાં પ્રવેશે તેને મારી નાખવો. રાજા અંદર આવે કે બહાર જાય ત્યારે તમારે તેની સાથે રહેવું.”
हिन्दी2 इतिहास २३:७
लेवीय लोग अपने-अपने हाथ में हथियार लिये हुए राजा के चारों ओर रहें और जो कोई भवन के भीतर घुसे, वह मार डाला जाए। और तुम राजा के आते-जाते उसके साथ रहना।”

In context

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.”

8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.

9Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
