5 And he appointed judges of the land, in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each place.
6 And instructing the judges, he said: 'Pay attention to what you are doing. For you exercise judgment, not of man, but of the Lord. And whatever you will have judged, it will come back to you.
7 Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with diligence. For there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor desire for gifts.'
8 Jehoshaphat also appointed Levites and priests and leaders of families, out of Israel, in Jerusalem, so that they might judge the judgment and purpose of the Lord for its inhabitants.
9 And he instructed them, saying, 'So shall you act: faithfully, in the fear of the Lord, and with a perfect heart.
