In Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat chose some Levites and priests. He also chose some leaders of Israelite families. He appointed all of them to apply the law of the Lord fairly. He wanted them to decide cases. He wanted them to settle matters between people. All those judges lived in Jerusalem.

From the family line of Hebron came Hashabiah and his relatives. They were capable men. The total number was 1,700. It was their duty to serve the king in Israel west of the Jordan River. It was also their duty to do all the Lord’ s work there.

Good things will come to those who are willing to lend freely. Good things will come to those who are fair in everything they do.

Azariah went out to meet Asa. He said to him,“ Asa and all you people of Judah and Benjamin, listen to me. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you really look for him, you will find him. But if you desert him, he will desert you.

Do you disrespect God’s great kindness and favor? Do you disrespect God when he is patient with you? Don’t you realize that God’s kindness is meant to turn you away from your sins?But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown.God“ will pay back each person in keeping with what they have done.”( Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12)God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don’t accept the truth. They go astray. God will pour out his great anger on them.There will be trouble and suffering for everyone who does evil. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the Gentiles.But there will be glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the Gentiles.God treats everyone the same.Some people do not know God’s law when they sin. They will not be judged by the law when they die. Others do know God’s law when they sin. They will be judged by the law.Hearing the law does not make a person right with God. People are considered to be right with God only when they obey the law.

A man named Joseph was a member of the Jewish Council. He was a good and honest man.

You will walk in the ways of good people. You will follow the paths of those who do right.

God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness to the person who pleases him. But to a sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth. Then the sinner must hand it over to the one who pleases God. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

Azariah was the father of Amariah. Amariah was the father of Ahitub.

Here is what I am commanding you to do. Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. I am the Lord your God. I will be with you everywhere you go.”

Be strong and brave. You will lead these people. They will take the land as their very own. It is the land I promised to give their people of long ago.

David also said to his son Solomon,“ Be strong and brave. Get to work. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope. The Lord God is my God. He is with you. He won’t fail you. He won’t desert you until all the work for serving in the Lord’ s temple is finished.

My son, be strong in the grace that is yours in Christ Jesus.

Lord, to those who are faithful you show that you are faithful. To those who are without blame you show that you are without blame.To those who are pure you show that you are pure. But to those whose paths are crooked you show that you are clever.

He told the judges,“ Think carefully about what you do. After all, you aren’t judging for human beings. You are judging for the Lord. He’s with you every time you make a decision.

“ My son, may the Lord be with you. May you have success. May you build the house of the Lord your God, just as he said you would.

Jesus replied,“ Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them.Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words you hear me say are not my own. They belong to the Father who sent me.

Barnabas was a good man. He was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Large numbers of people came to know the Lord.

Some of them can work with gold and silver. Others can work with bronze and iron. There are more workers than anyone can count. So begin the work. May the Lord be with you.”

So be committed to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Start building the temple of the Lord God. Then bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord into it. Also bring in the sacred objects that belong to God. The temple will be built for the Name of the Lord.”

Be on your guard. Remain strong in the faith. Be brave.

The Lord makes secure the footsteps of the person who delights in him,

Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. The God who gives peace will be with you.

“ The lips of a priest should guard knowledge. After all, he is the messenger of the Lord who rules over all. And people seek instruction from his mouth.
