2 Chronicles 19:4-6

New Catholic Bible

Jehoshaphat’s Appointments. ⁴ Jehoshaphat resided in Jerusalem, but he regularly went forth among the people, from Beer-sheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. ⁵ He also appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.

⁶ Jehoshaphat said to the judges: “Pay careful attention to what you are doing. You are to judge not on behalf of human beings but on behalf of the Lord, who will be with you when you pronounce sentence.
