19:5-7 In appointing regional judges, Jehoshaphat reminded them of two things: that God would be watching them, and that God was the model for impartiality. Jehoshaphat was not merely pragmatic in his governing but led the country in spiritual matters as well.
19:8-11 Jehoshaphat also carried out judicial reform in Jerusalem. Some of these judges were Levites and priests and thus were accountable only to the Lord. Their supervisor was not the king but Amariah, the high priest. They would serve as an appeals court for the regional judges. Zebadiah . . . the ruler of the house of Judah, along with the Levites, was to be the final authority in cases that involved the king himself.
