Divrey Hayamim Bais 19:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 19:6

And said to the judges, take heed what you do
In judgment, that they judged righteous judgment according to the law of God, without partiality and respect of persons:

for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord;
not for man only, but for the Lord; and not so much for man as for the Lord, whom they represented in judgment; whose law was the rule of their judgment, and whose glory their end, and to whom they were accountable:

who is with you in the judgment:
as to guide and direct you, so to observe how they behaved, and be a witness for or against them; the Targum is,

``ye judge not before men, but before the Word of the Lord, whose Shechinah dwells with you in the affair of judgment.''

Divrey Hayamim Bais 19:6 In-Context

4 And Yehoshaphat dwelt in Yerushalayim; and he went out again among HaAm from Beer Sheva to Mt Ephrayim, and he turned them back unto Hashem Elohei Avoteihem.

5 And he appointed Shofetim in HaAretz throughout all the fortified cities of Yehudah, city by city,

6 And said to the Shofetim, Take heed what ye do, for ye judge not for adam, but for Hashem, Who is with you in the devar mishpat (verdict).

7 Wherefore now let the Pachad Hashem be upon you; be shomer and do it, for there is no avlah (injustice) with Hashem Eloheinu, nor massa panim (respect of persons), nor mikkach shochad (taking of bribes).

8 Moreover in Yerushalayim did Yehoshaphat station Levi’im, and Kohanim, and Rashei HaAvot Yisroel, for the Mishpat Hashem, and for riv (disputes), and they returned to Yerushalayim.
