Watch what you do, for there is no injustice or partiality or taking bribes with the Lord our God.” ⁸ Jehoshaphat also appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites and priests and some of the heads of the Israelite families for deciding the Lord’s will and for settling disputes of the residents of Jerusalem.
