SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:5
¶ Y puso en la tierra jueces en todas las ciudades fuertes de Judá, por todos los lugares.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city , etc.] Inferior judges in lesser courts of judicature than that at Jerusalem, and that in every city, that judgment and justice might be executed everywhere; such were appointed by David, but had been neglected, and now restored, (see 1 Chronicles 26:29,32).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Jehoshaphat visits his kingdom. --Whenever we return in peace to our houses, we ought to acknowledg God's providence in preserving our going out and coming in. And if we have been kept through more than common dangers, we are, in a specia manner, bound to be thankful. Distinguishing mercies lay us unde strong obligations. The prophet tells Jehoshaphat he had done very il in joining Ahab. He took the reproof well. See the effect the reproo had upon him. He strictly searched his own kingdom. By what the prophe said, Jehoshaphat perceived that his former attempts for reformatio were well-pleasing to God; therefore he did what was then left undone It is good when commendations quicken us to our duty. There ar diversities of gifts and operations, but all from the same Spirit, and for the public good; and as every one has received the gift, so let his minister the same. Blessed be God for magistrates and ministers scribes and statesmen, men of books, and men of business. Observe the charge the king gave. They must do all in the fear of the Lord, with perfect, upright heart. And they must make it their constant care to prevent sin, as an offence to God, and what would bring wrath on the people __________________________________________________________________
