2 Chronicles 19:5-8
5He appointed 1judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city. 6He said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for 2you do not judge for man but for the Lord who is with you 3when you render judgment. 7Now then let the fear of the Lord be upon you; 4be very careful what you do, for 5the Lord our God will 6have no part in unrighteousness 7or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”
8In Jerusalem also Jehoshaphat appointed some 8of the Levites and priests, and some of the heads of the fathers’ households of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord and to judge 9disputes among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
