2 Chronicles 19:4-6

New International Reader's Version

Jehoshaphat Appoints Judges

⁴ Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. He went out again among the people. He went from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim. He turned the people back to the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁵ Jehoshaphat appointed judges in the land. He put them in all the cities of Judah that had high walls around them. ⁶ He told the judges, “Think carefully about what you do. After all, you aren’t judging for human beings. You are judging for the Lord. He’s with you every time you make a decision.
