Chronicles II 19:5-11

⁵And he appointed judges in all the strong cities of Juda, city by city.

⁶And he said to the judges, Take good heed what you° do: for you° judge not for man, but for the Lord, and with you are matters of judgement.

⁷And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do your duty: for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither is it for him to respect persons, nor take bribes.

⁸Moreover Josaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the priests, and Levites, and heads of houses of Israel, for the judgement of the Lord, and to judge the dwellers in Jerusalem.

⁹And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you° do in the fear of the Lord, in truth and with a perfect heart.

¹⁰Whatsoever man of your brethren that dwell in their cities shall bring the cause that comes before you, between blood and blood, and between precept and commandment, and ordinances and judgements, you° shall even decide for them; so they shall not sin against the Lord, and there shall not be wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: thus you° shall do, and you° shall not sin.

¹¹And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good.
