2 Chronicles 19:10-11
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And in every cause that shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in your cities, between [a]blood and blood, between law and precept, statutes and judgments, ye shall judge them and admonish them that they trespass not against the Lord, that [b]wrath come not upon you and upon your brethren. This shall ye do and trespass not.
11 And behold, Amariah the Priest shall be the chief over you in all matters of the Lord, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, a ruler of the house of Judah, shall be for all the [c]King’s affairs, and the Levites shall be officers [d]before you. Be of courage, and do it, and the Lord shall be with the [e]good.
