2 Chronicles 19:11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The chief priest is over you Shall be your president to direct and assist you; in all matters of the Lord In spiritual or ecclesiastical matters. And Zebadiah, the ruler of the house of Judah The prince, or chief ruler, under the king, of the tribe of Judah; for all the king's matters For civil causes, or controversies, either between the king and his people, or between subject and subject, which may be called the king's matters, because it was a principal part of his office to see them justly decided. The Levites shall be officers before you Shall be at your command, to see your just sentences executed; which work was fitly committed to the Levites, as persons who might add their instructions to the corrections, and might bring the guilty to an acknowledgment of their fault, and a submission to their punishment. Deal courageously Act with resolution, and fear not the face of man; but be bold and daring in the discharge of your duty. And the Lord shall be with the good Shall protect and bless good judges in their pronouncing just sentences, and doing good things.

11 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in 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 shall be officers before you. Deala courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
