2 Chronicles 19:6-11 ▼

6 and he said to the judges, “See to what you⁺ are doing, for not for man do you⁺ judge, but for YHWH, who is with you⁺ in the matter of judgment.

7 And now let the dread of YHWH be upon you⁺; take care and do it, for not with YHWH our God are iniquity and lifting up of faces and taking of a bribe.”

8 And also in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed from the Levites, and the priests, and from the heads of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of YHWH and for controversies; and they returned to Jerusalem.

9 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you⁺ shall do in the fear of YHWH, in faithfulness, and with a perfect heart.

10 And any case that comes to you⁺ from your⁺ brothers 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 YHWH and wrath come upon you⁺ and your⁺ brothers. Thus do, and you⁺ will not be guilty.

11 And behold, Amariah is the chief priest over you⁺ in all matters of YHWH, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all matters of the king. And the Levites are officials before you⁺. Be strong and act, and YHWH will be with the good one.”
