2 Chronicles 19:5–10

⁵Then he set ^gjudges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, ⁶and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for ^hyou do not judge for man but for the Lord, ⁱwho is with you ²in the judgment. ⁷Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for ^jthere is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no ^kpartiality, nor taking of bribes.”

⁸Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the Lord and for controversies, Jehoshaphat ^lappointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel, ³when they returned to Jerusalem. ⁹And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall act ^min the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a loyal heart: ¹⁰ⁿWhatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the Lord and ^owrath come upon ^pyou and your brethren. Do this, and you will not be guilty.
