Utley - Notice the two things YHWH promises if the judges are faithful. you will not be guilty (i.e., the "they" is ambiguous and could refer to the people or the judge, 2 Chr. 19:10) the Lord will be with the upright (JUSSIVE) individually (the judges and those who seek YHWH) collectively Judah will be blessed (Leviticus 26; Deuteronomy 28) 2 Chronicles 19:11 “Behold, Amariah the chief priest will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Act resolutely, and the LORD be with the upright.” KJV 2 Chronicles 19:11 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good. BGT 2 Chronicles 19:11 καὶ ἰδοὺ Αμαριας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἡγούμενος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς εἰς πᾶν λόγον κυρίου καὶ Ζαβδιας υἱὸς Ισμαηλ ὁ ἡγούμενος εἰς οἶκον Ιουδα πρὸς πᾶν λόγον βασιλέως καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν ἰσχύσατε καὶ ποιήσατε καὶ ἔσται κύριος μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ LXE 2 Chronicles 19:11 And, behold, Amarias the priest is head over you in every matter of the Lord; and Zabdias the son of Ismael is head over the house of Juda in every matter of the king; and the scribes and Levites are before you: be strong and active, and the Lord shall be with the good. NET 2 Chronicles 19:11 You will report to Amariah the chief priest in all matters pertaining to the LORD's law, and to Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the family of Judah, in all matters pertaining to the king. The Levites will serve as officials before you. Confidently carry out your duties! May the LORD be with those who do well!" CSB 2 Chronicles 19:11 "Note that Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all matters related to the LORD, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all matters related to the king, and the Levites are officers in your presence. Be strong; may the LORD be with those who do what is good." ESV 2 Chronicles 19:11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters, and the Levites will serve you as officers. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the upright!" NIV 2 Chronicles 19:11 "Amariah the chief priest will be over you in any matter concerning the LORD, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the tribe of Judah, will be over you in any matter concerning the king, and the Levites will serve as officials before you. Act with courage, and may the LORD be with those who do well." NLT 2 Chronicles 19:11 "Amariah the high priest will have final say in all cases involving the LORD. Zebadiah son of Ishmael, a leader from the tribe of Judah, will have final say in all civil cases. The Levites will assist you in making sure that justice is served. Take courage as you fulfill your duties, and may the LORD be with those who do what is right." NRS 2 Chronicles 19:11 See, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters; and the Levites will serve you as officers. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the good!" NJB 2 Chronicles 19:11 Amariah the chief priest himself will be your president in all religious cases, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, leader of the House of Judah, in all civil ones, while the Levites will act as officers of the court. Be firm, put this into practice and may Yahweh protect the right!' NAB 2 Chronicles 19:11 See now, Amariah is high priest over you in everything that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, is leader of the house of Judah in all that pertains to the king; and the Levites will be your officials. Act firmly, and the LORD will be with the good." YLT 2 Chronicles 19:11 'And, lo, Amariah the head priest is over you for every matter of Jehovah, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, is for every matter of the king, and officers the Levites are before you; be strong and do, and Jehovah is with the good.' Amariah: 1Ch 6:11 all: 2Ch 19:8 1Ch 26:30 Mal 2:7 Act resolutely,: Heb. Take courage and do, Jos 1:6,9 1Ch 22:11,16,19 1Co 16:13 2Ti 2:1 the LORD 2Ch 19:6 15:2 Ps 18:25,26 Joh 14:23,24 Ro 2:4-13 Php 4:8,9 be with the upright: Ps 37:23 112:5 Pr 2:20 Ec 2:26 Lu 23:50 Ac 11:24 “Behold, Amariah the chief priest will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king - Amariah would be in charge temple, and ceremonial matters, anything connected to the worship of God. His duty would include teaching the law, supervising offerings, dealing with spiritual offenses, and temple-related judgments. Also the Levites shall be officers before you - The Levites were appointed to assist and enforce these rulings. They served as scribes, judges, administrators, and sometimes even mediators or educators in matters of law. This echoes their broader role in teaching the Law (see 2 Chron. 17:7–9). Act resolutely, (chazaq; Lxx - ischuo)(Hebrew = “Be strong and act!”) and the LORD be with the upright - NET - "Confidently carry out your duties!" NLT - "Take courage as you fulfill your duties, and may the LORD be with those who do what is right" THOUGHT - This recalls Paul's exhortations to the church at Corinth "Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love. (1Co 16:13-14+) (All verbs are present imperative and all require us to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) Paul adds "You therefore, my son, be strong (present imperative) in the grace (SO WE NEED THE SPIRIT AND GOD'S GRACE) that is in Christ Jesus." (2Ti 2:1+) Spurgeon rightly exhorts each of us "Let this be our motto in all our dealings. He who acts uprightly has never any cause to fear, for God is with him. Children, learn this line by heart, “Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good.” I send the joys of earth away, Away, ye tempters of the mind; False as the smooth deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind. Lord, I adore thy matchless grace, That warn’d me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bade me seek superior bliss. Frederick Mabie: The particular appointment of Amariah and Zebadiah implies differing areas of responsibility pertaining to the executive branch (matters concerning the king) and the judicial-legal branch (matters concerning the Lord). The Levites function in a more generic role, perhaps akin to judicial clerks. (The Expositor's Bible Commentary: 1 Chronicles-Job - Page 241) Adrian Rogers - look at the last verse of chapter 19, the last phrase in that verse. Here’s what good king Jehoshaphat said to the people. He said, “Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.” (2 Chronicles 19:11) That was a promise, and that was true; but it certainly did not mean that they would not have any trouble, because we’re going to see right after this revival and right after this injunction to live courageously and to be good there come incredible problems.
