Contextual Overview

1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong. He made an agreement with the captains of hundreds. These captains were Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri. They made an agreement with Jehoiada. 2 And they went through Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities. They gathered the heads of the fathers' houses of Israel. And they came to Jerusalem. 3 Then all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, "See, the king's son will rule, as the Lord has spoken about the sons of David. 4 This is what you must do. One third of you religious leaders and Levites who come in on the Day of Rest will watch the gates. 5 One third will be at the king's house, and one third at the Gate of the Foundation. And all the people will be in the open places of the house of the Lord. 6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord except the religious leaders and the Levite helpers. They may come in, for they are holy. But let all the other people obey the law against going into the holy place of the Lord. 7 The Levites will stand around the king. Each one will have his spear in his hand. And whoever goes into the house will be killed. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out." 8 The Levites and all Judah did all that Jehoiada the religious leader told them. Each one of them took his men who were to come in on the Day of Rest, with those who were to go out on the Day of Rest. For Jehoiada the religious leader did not send away any of the groups. 9 Then Jehoiada the religious leader gave the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small battle-coverings that had been King David's, which were in the house of God. 10 And he put all the people in their places around the king. Each man had his spear in his hand. They were put in their places from the right side of the house to the left side, around the altar and the house.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

spears: 1 Samuel 21:9, 2 Samuel 8:7

which were in the house: When the soldier retired from the tumults of war to the bosom of his family, he frequently hung up his arms in the temple, as a grateful acknowledgment of the protection he had received, and of the victories he had won. It is highly probable, therefore, that the arms of David which Jehoiada delivered to the captains of hundreds, "which were in the house of God," were laid up in the tabernacle by David when he resigned the command of his armies to his generals; and there is reason to believe that his conduct, in this respect, was followed by many of his companions in arms.
