2 Chron. 19:8• 8—And moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set some of the Levites and priests, and of the chief fathers of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah and for causes. —And they returned to Jerusalem. (2 Chron. 19:8)
;
Deut. 16:18‑20• 18Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes, that they may judge the people with just judgment.
 19Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
 20Perfect justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and possess the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee. (Deut. 16:18‑20)
;
Rom. 13:1‑5• 1Let every soul be subject to authorities above [it]. For there is no authority unless from God; and those that are have been ordained by God.
 2So that he that setteth himself against the authority withstandeth the ordinance of God; and those that withstand shall receive judgment for themselves.
 3For the rulers are no terror for the good work but for the evil. And dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? Practice good and thou shalt have praise for it;
 4for it is God's servant to thee for good. But if thou Practice evil, be afraid; for not in vain doth it wear the sword; for God's servant it is, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.
 5Wherefore [there is] a necessity to be subject not only on account of wrath but also on account of conscience. (Rom. 13:1‑5)
;
1 Peter 2:13‑14• 13Be subject to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to a king as supreme,
 14or to rulers as being sent through him, for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those that do well. (1 Peter 2:13‑14)
• {v.5-7} He who had so sadly walked in the ways of man (2 Chron. 18:3), puts the judges under obligation to judge for Jehovah, not for man: proof that his conscience had been reached by the divine reproof. (“Jehoshaphat and Jehu the Prophet: 2 Chronicles 19” by H.L. Rossier)
