5 He appointed 1judges in the land in all 2the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6 and said to the judges, "Consider what you do, 3for you judge not for man but for the LORD. He is with you in giving judgment.
7 Now then, let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for 4there is no injustice with the LORD our God, 5or partiality or taking bribes."
8 Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat 6appointed certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, 7to give judgment for the LORD and to decide disputed cases. They had their seat at Jerusalem.
9 And he charged them: 8"Thus you shall do in the fear of the LORD, in faithfulness, 9and with your whole heart:
10 10whenever a case comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed, law or commandment, statutes or rules, then you shall warn them, that they may not incur guilt before the LORD and 11wrath may not come upon you and your brothers. Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 19

Jehoshaphat returning from the battle at Ramothgilead, was met by a prophet, who reproved him for helping the ungodly, 2Ch 19:1-3, which quickened him to a greater regard for the reformation of his kingdom, 2Ch 19:4, and he set judges in all the cities of Judah, and exhorted them to do justice, 2Ch 19:5-7, and in the city of Jerusalem he appointed priests and Levites for the same purpose, and gave them a strict charge, and animated and encouraged them to perform their office faithfully, 2Ch 19:8-11.
