8In JerusalemH3389 JehoshaphatH3092 alsoH1571 appointedH5975 someH4480 8of the LevitesH3881 and priestsH3548, and someH4480 of the headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 households of IsraelH3478, for the judgmentH4941 of the LordH3068, and 9to judgeH7378 disputesH7378 among the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. 9Then he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall doH6213 in the fearH3374 of the LordH3068, faithfullyH530 and wholeheartedlyH3824H8003. 1010WheneverH834 anyH3605 disputeH7379 comesH935 to you from your countrymenH251 who liveH3427 in their citiesH5892, betweenH996 bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, betweenH996 lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941, you shall warnH2094 them so that they will not be guiltyH816 before the LordH3068, and 11wrathH7110 will not comeH1961 on you and your countrymenH251. ThisH3541 you shall doH6213 and you will not be guiltyH816. 11BeholdH2009, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 will be overH5921 you in 12everyH3605 matterH1697 13that pertains to the LordH3068, and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, in allH3605 that pertainsH1697 to the kingH4428. Also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860 beforeH6440 you. 1415ActH6213 resolutelyH2388, and may the LordH3068 be with the uprightH2896.”
