Chapter 19
8
In Jerusalem Jehoshaphat also appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the heads of the fathers’
households
of Israel, for the judgment of the
Lord
, and to judge disputes among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
9
Then he commanded them, saying, 'This is what you shall do in the fear of the
Lord
, faithfully and wholeheartedly.
10
Whenever any dispute comes to you from your countrymen who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they will not be guilty before the
Lord
, and wrath will
not
come on you and your countrymen. This you shall do and you will not be guilty.
11
Behold, Amariah the chief priest will be over you in every matter that pertains to the
Lord
, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Act resolutely, and may the
Lord
be with the upright.'
King James Version
Chapter 19

Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the
Lord
, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the
Lord
, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10
And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the
Lord
, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
11
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the
Lord
; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the
Lord
shall be with the good.

10
For every dispute that comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities—whether it regards differences of bloodguilt, law, commandment, statutes, or judgments —you are to warn them, so they will not incur guilt before the
Lord
and wrath will not come on you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not incur guilt.
11
"Note that Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all matters related to the
Lord
, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all matters related to the king, and the Levites are officers in your presence. Be strong; may the
Lord

Chapter 19
8
In Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests and clan leaders in Israel to serve as judges for cases involving the
Lord
’s regulations and for civil disputes.
9
These were his instructions to them: 'You must always act in the fear of the
Lord
, with faithfulness and an undivided heart.
10
Whenever a case comes to you from fellow citizens in an outlying town, whether a murder case or some other violation of God’s laws, commands, decrees, or regulations, you must warn them not to sin against the
Lord
, so that he will not be angry with you and them. Do this and you will not be guilty.
11
Amariah the high priest will have final say in all cases involving the
Lord
. Zebadiah son of Ishmael, a leader from the tribe of Judah, will have final say in all civil cases. The Levites will assist you in making sure that justice is served. Take courage as you fulfill your duties, and may the
Lord
be with those who do what is right.'

Lord
, in faithfulness, and with your whole heart:
10

Lord
and wrath may not come upon you and your brothers. Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt.
11
And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the
Lord
; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king 's matters, and the Levites will serve you as officers. Deal courageously, and may the
Lord
be with the upright!"

Lord

Lord

11

Lord
, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will be over you in any matter concerning the king, and the Levites will serve as officials before you. Act with courage, and may the
