rsv@2Chronicles:19:4 @ Jehosh'aphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people, from Beer-sheba to the hill country of E'phraim, and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
rsv@2Chronicles:19:5 @ He appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
rsv@2Chronicles:19:6 @ and said to the judges, "Consider what you do, for you judge not for man but for the LORD; he is with you in giving judgment.
rsv@2Chronicles:19:7 @ Now then, let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed what you do, for there is no perversion of justice with the LORD our God, or partiality, or taking bribes."
rsv@2Chronicles:19:8 @ Moreover in Jerusalem Jehosh'aphat appointed certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, to give judgment for the LORD and to decide disputed cases. They had their seat at Jerusalem.
rsv@2Chronicles:19:9 @ And he charged them: "Thus you shall do in the fear of the LORD, in faithfulness, and with your whole heart:
rsv@2Chronicles:19:10 @ whenever a case comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed, law or commandment, statutes or ordinances, then you shall instruct them, that they may not incur guilt before the LORD and wrath may not come upon you and your brethren. Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt.
rsv@2Chronicles:19:11 @ And behold, Amari'ah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadi'ah the son of Ish'mael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; and the Levites will serve you as officers. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the upright!"
