4 Jehoshaphat Chooses Judges Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. He went out again to be with the people. He went from Beersheba to the mountains of Ephraim. He brought these people back to the Lord, the God their ancestors followed.

5 Jehoshaphat appointed judges in all the land. He appointed judges for each of the strong, walled cities of Judah.

6 Jehoshaphat said to them, “Be careful in what you do. This is because you are not judging for people but for the Lord. He will be with you when you make a decision.
