2 Chronicles 19:10
Compare all
8 Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the Lord and for controversies, Jehoshaphat aappointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel,1 when they returned to Jerusalem.  
9 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall act ain the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a loyal heart:  
10 aWhatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the Lord and bwrath come upon cyou and your brethren. Do this, and you will not be guilty.  
11 And take notice: aAmariah the chief priest is over you bin all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the Lord will be cwith the good.”

2 Chronicles 19:10

Blood - This refers to Deuteronomy 17:8, between the blood of the person slain, and the blood of the man - slayer. All the cities of refuge, except Hebron, now belonged to the kingdom of Israel, so that the man - slayer now usually fled to the courts of the temple, or the horns of the altar. And therefore the trial of these, was reserved for the court at Jerusalem. Law, etc. - When any debates shall arise about the meaning of any of God's laws. Warn - Ye shall not only give a righteous sentence for what is past, but ye shall admonish the offender, and others, to take better heed for the future.
