day no. 15,646: every man, weapon in hand

2 Chronicles 23:7-10
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God. And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

Every man, weapon in hand.

Every man was expected to have his own weapon in his own hand. Every man was expected to possess a weapon and know how to use it.

Every man, weapon in hand.

In order to obey the king's command, you had to own a weapon and know how to use it.

Every man, weapon in hand.
