2 Chronicles 19:8-10
International Standard Version
8 In Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat also appointed certain descendants of Levi, priests, and family leaders of Israel to render verdicts for the Lord and to decide difficult cases. Their offices were in Jerusalem. 9 He issued this reminder to them:
“You are to carry out your duties in the fear of the Lord, serving him[a] faithfully[b] with your whole heart. 10 No matter what case comes before you from your fellow citizens who live in their own cities, whether it’s a dispute between blood relatives[c] or a dispute regarding the Law and the commands, statutes, or verdicts, you are to warn the parties[d] so that they do not become guilty in the Lord’s presence and so that anger does not come upon you and your fellow citizens.
