13
Take H3051 you wise H2450 men, H582 and understanding, H995 and known H3045 among your tribes, H7626 and I will make H7760 them rulers H7218 over you.
14
And you answered H6030 me, and said, H559 The thing H1697 which H834 you have spoken H1696 is good H2896 for us to do. H6213
15
So I took H3947 the chief H7218 of your tribes, H7626 wise H2450 men, H582 and known, H3045 and made H5414 them heads H7218 over H5921 you, captains H8269 over thousands, H505 and captains H8269 over hundreds, H3967 and captains H8269 over fifties, H2572 and captains H8269 over tens, H6235 and officers H7860 among your tribes. H7626
16
And I charged H6680 your judges H8199 at that time, H6256 saying, H559 Hear H8085 the causes between H996 your brothers, H251 and judge H8199 righteously H6664 between H996 every man H376 and his brother, H251 and the stranger H1616 that is with him.
17
You shall not respect H5234 persons H6440 in judgment; H4941 but you shall hear H8085 the small H6996 as well as the great; H1419 you shall not be afraid H1481 of the face H6440 of man; H376 for the judgment H4941 is God's: H430 and the cause H1697 that is too hard H7185 for you, bring H7126 it to me, and I will hear H8085 it.
Acts 6:3
Why, G3767 brothers, G80 look G1980 you out among G1537 you seven G2033 men G435 of honest report, G3140 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and wisdom, G4678 whom G3739 we may appoint G2525 over G1909 this G5026 business. G5532
Exodus 18:25
And Moses H4872 chose H977 able H2428 men H582 out of all H3605 Israel, H3478 and made H5414 them heads H7218 over H5921 the people, H5971 rulers H8269 of thousands, H505 rulers H8269 of hundreds, H3967 rulers H8269 of fifties, H2572 and rulers H8269 of tens. H6235
Deuteronomy 16:18
Judges H8199 and officers H7860 shall you make H5414 you in all H3605 your gates, H8179 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives H5414 you, throughout your tribes: H7626 and they shall judge H8199 the people H5971 with just H6664 judgment. H4941
1 Kings 3:9-12
9
Give H5414 therefore your servant H5650 an understanding H8085 heart H3820 to judge H8199 your people, H5971 that I may discern H995 between H996 good H2896 and bad: H7451 for who H4310 is able H3201 to judge H8199 this H2088 your so great H3515 a people? H5971
10
And the speech H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the LORD, H136 that Solomon H8010 had asked H7592 this H2088 thing. H1697
11
And God H430 said H559 to him, Because H3282 you have asked H7592 this H2088 thing, H1697 and have not asked H7592 for yourself long H7227 life; H3117 neither H3808 have asked H7592 riches H6239 for yourself, nor H3808 have asked H7592 the life H5315 of your enemies; H341 but have asked H7592 for yourself understanding H995 to discern H8085 judgment; H4941
12
Behold, H2009 I have done H6213 according to your words: H1697 see, H2009 I have given H5414 you a wise H2450 and an understanding H995 heart; H3820 so that there was none H3808 like H3644 you before H6440 you, neither H3808 after H310 you shall any arise H6965 like H3644 to you.
Proverbs 28:2
For the transgression H6588 of a land H776 many H7227 are the princes H8269 thereof: but by a man H120 of understanding H995 and knowledge H3045 the state H3651 thereof shall be prolonged. H748
Exodus 23:2-9
2
You shall not follow H1961 H310 a multitude H7227 to do evil; H7451 neither H3808 shall you speak H6030 in a cause H7379 to decline H5186 after H310 many H7227 to wrest H5186 judgment:
3
Neither H3808 shall you countenance H1921 a poor H1800 man in his cause. H7379
4
If H3588 you meet H6293 your enemy's H341 ox H7794 or H176 his ass H2543 going H8582 astray, H8582 you shall surely bring H7725 it back H7725 to him again. H7725
5
If H3588 you see H7200 the ass H2543 of him that hates H8130 you lying H7257 under H8478 his burden, H4853 and would forbear H2308 to help H5800 him, you shall surely help H5800 with him.
6
You shall not wrest H5186 the judgment H4941 of your poor H34 in his cause. H7379
7
Keep H7368 you far H7368 from a false H8267 matter; H1697 and the innocent H5355 and righteous H6662 slay H2026 you not: for I will not justify H6663 the wicked. H7563
8
And you shall take H3947 no H3808 gift: H7810 for the gift H7810 blinds H5786 the wise, H6493 and perverts H5557 the words H1697 of the righteous. H6662
9
Also you shall not oppress H3905 a stranger: H1616 for you know H3045 the heart H5315 of a stranger, H1616 seeing H3588 you were strangers H1616 in the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
Genesis 22:12
And he said, H559 Lay H7971 not your hand H3027 on the lad, H5288 neither H408 do H6213 you any H3972 thing to him: for now H6258 I know H3045 that you fear H3373 God, H430 seeing you have not withheld H2820 your son, H1121 your only H3162 son from me.
Genesis 42:18
And Joseph H3130 said H559 to them the third H7992 day, H3117 This H2063 do, H6213 and live; H2421 for I fear H3373 God: H430
2 Samuel 23:3
The God H430 of Israel H3478 said, H559 the Rock H6697 of Israel H3478 spoke H1696 to me, He that rules H4910 over men H120 must be just, H6662 ruling H4910 in the fear H3374 of God. H430
1 Kings 18:3
And Ahab H256 called H7121 Obadiah, H5662 which H834 was the governor H5921 H1004 of his house. H1004 (Now Obadiah H5662 feared H3373 the LORD H3068 greatly: H3966
1 Kings 18:12
And it shall come H1961 to pass, as soon as I am gone H3212 from you, that the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 shall carry H5375 you where H5921 H834 I know H3045 not; and so when I come H935 and tell H5046 Ahab, H256 and he cannot H3808 find H4672 you, he shall slay H2026 me: but I your servant H5650 fear H3372 the LORD H3068 from my youth. H5271

5
And he set H5975 judges H8199 in the land H776 throughout all H3605 the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 city H5892 by city, H5892
6
And said H559 to the judges, H8199 Take H7200 heed H7200 what H4100 you do: H6213 for you judge H8199 not for man, H120 but for the LORD, H3068 who is with you in the judgment. H1697 H4941
7
Why now H6258 let the fear H6343 of the LORD H3068 be on you; take heed H8104 and do H6213 it: for there is no H369 iniquity H5766 with the LORD H3068 our God, H430 nor respect H4856 of persons, H6440 nor taking H4727 of gifts. H7810
8
Moreover H1571 in Jerusalem H3389 did Jehoshaphat H3092 set H5975 of the Levites, H3881 and of the priests, H3548 and of the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of Israel, H3478 for the judgment H4941 of the LORD, H3068 and for controversies, H7379 when they returned H7725 to Jerusalem. H3389
9
And he charged H6680 them, saying, H559 Thus H3541 shall you do H6213 in the fear H3374 of the LORD, H3068 faithfully, H530 and with a perfect H8003 heart. H3824
10
And what H3602 cause H7379 soever shall come H935 to you of your brothers H251 that dwell H3427 in your cities, H5892 between H996 blood H1818 and blood, H1818 between H996 law H8451 and commandment, H4687 statutes H2706 and judgments, H4941 you shall even warn H2094 them that they trespass H816 not against the LORD, H3068 and so wrath H7110 come H1961 on you, and on your brothers: H251 this H3541 do, H6213 and you shall not trespass. H816
Nehemiah 5:9
Also I said, H559 It is not good H2896 that you do: H6213 ought you not to walk H3212 in the fear H3374 of our God H430 because of the reproach H2781 of the heathen H1471 our enemies? H341
Nehemiah 7:2
That I gave my brother H251 Hanani, H2607 and Hananiah H2608 the ruler H8269 of the palace, H1002 charge H6680 over H5921 Jerusalem: H3389 for he was a faithful H571 man, H376 and feared H3372 God H430 above many. H7227
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear H8085 the conclusion H5490 of the whole H3605 matter: H1697 Fear H3372 God, H430 and keep H8104 his commandments: H4687 for this H2088 is the whole H3605 duty H1697 of man. H120
Luke 18:2

And he would G2309 not for a while: G5550 but afterward G3326 G5023 he said G2036 within G1722 himself, G1438 Though G1499 I fear G5399 not God, G2316 nor G3756 regard G1788 man; G444

Isaiah 59:4
None H369 calls H7121 for justice, H6664 nor H369 any pleads H8199 for truth: H530 they trust H982 in vanity, H8414 and speak H1696 lies; H7723 they conceive H2029 mischief, H5999 and bring H3205 forth H3205 iniquity. H205
Isaiah 59:14
And judgment H4941 is turned H5253 away backward, H268 and justice H6666 stands H5975 afar H7350 off: for truth H571 is fallen H3782 in the street, H7339 and equity H5229 cannot H3808 H3201 enter. H935
Isaiah 59:15
Yes, truth H571 fails; H5737 and he that departs H5493 from evil H7451 makes himself a prey: H7997 and the LORD H3068 saw H7200 it, and it displeased H7489 H5869 him that there was no H369 judgment. H4941

Zechariah 8:16

Deuteronomy 16:19
You shall not wrest H5186 judgment; H4941 you shall not respect H5234 persons, H6440 neither H3808 take H3947 a gift: H7810 for a gift H7810 does blind H5786 the eyes H5869 of the wise, H2450 and pervert H5557 the words H1697 of the righteous. H6662

10
For the love G5365 of money G5365 is the root G4491 of all G3956 evil: G2556 which G3739 while some G5100 coveted G3713 after, they have erred G635 from the faith, G4102 and pierced G4044 themselves G1438 through G4044 with many G4183 sorrows. G3601
