Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:6

Theological / Devotional

Take heed. Jehoshaphat urged the new judges to consider the importance of their work. They were to administer justice impartially to all classes, to the poor as well as the rich.

For the Lord. The judge was primarily a servant of God. He was to be fearless and impartial in all his decisions (see Deut. 1:17; Ps. 82:1-4; Eccl. 5:8).

With you. God is interested in justice and is present in the courtroom. He marks every impartial verdict and notes every breach of justice.
