2 Chronicles 23:6

Let none come into the house of the Lord Strictly so called, and distinguished from the courts just mentioned, namely, into the sanctuary, or holy place. Save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites Who are to minister in course, or according to my present appointment. They shall go in, for they are holy They have been consecrated to the service of God, and are bound to attend there. But all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord That is, of the house of the Lord, as is expressed 2 Kings 11:6. The meaning is, Let them stand in their court to prevent and oppose any person that shall endeavour violently to break into the house, to seize upon the king, or to oppose the present work, which he expected Athaliah and her accomplices would do.
