2 Chronicles 19:8
_ _ 2 Chronicles 19:8-11. To the Priests and Levites.
_ _ set of the Levites ... priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel — A certain number of these three classes constituted a supreme court, which sat in Jerusalem to review appellate cases from the inferior courts. It consisted of two divisions: the first of which had jurisdiction in ecclesiastical matters; the second, in civil, fiscal, and criminal cases. According to others, the two divisions of the supreme court adjudicated: the one according to the law contained in the sacred books; the other according to the law of custom and equity. As in Eastern countries at the present day, the written and unwritten law are objects of separate jurisdiction. |
2 Chronicles 19:8
The fathers — Persons of other tribes eminent for their dignity, ability and integrity. But whether these persons made up one court, called the Sanhedrim, by which all causes ecclesiastical and civil were decided; or there were two distinct courts, the one ecclesiastical, consisting of the priests and Levites; the other civil, consisting of the chief of the fathers of Israel, it is not easy to determine. The Lord — For matters concerning the laws and worship, of God. Controversies — For matters of difference between man and man. When — When Jehoshaphat and his company were returned to Jerusalem, he made this order concerning establishing judges there. |

And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
