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. 11 Take notice, please, that Amariah the Chief Priest is presiding over all cases[e] that pertain to the Lord, Ishmael’s son Zebadiah is presiding as ruler of the household of Judah with respect to all cases that pertain to the national government,[f] and the descendants of Levi will preside over your other civil cases.[g] Serve courageously, and the Lord will be with the upright.”
