8In Jerusalem also Jehoshaphat appointed some aof the Levites and priests, and some of the heads of the fathers’ households of Israel, for the judgment of Yahweh and to judge 1disputes. So they returned to Jerusalem. 9Then he commanded them saying, “Thus you shall do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully and wholeheartedly. 10“aWhenever any dispute comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before Yahweh and bwrath may not come on you and your brothers. Thus you shall do, and you will not be guilty.
