2 Cronica 19:11

Filipino Cebuano Bible

11 Ug, ania karon, si Amarias ang labawng sacerdote anaa sa ibabaw ninyo sa tanang mga hinungdan ni Jehova; ug si Sebadias ang anak nga lalake ni Ismael, ang magbubuot sa balay sa Juda, sa tanang mga hinungdan sa hari: ang mga Levihanon usab mahimong mga punoan sa atubangan ninyo. Pagmaisugon kamo, ug si Jehova magauban sa maayo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord,.... He being high priest, presided in this court in all things sacred, or which respected the worship of God; and was present to give his advice, and direct in the determination of all such matters that should come before them, according to the laws and statutes provided in such cases; though it may be he was only a common priest that was chief over them, or the president of this court:

and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah; the prince of the tribe of Judah:

for all the king's matters; such as related to civil government, and which were not so clearly determined by positive laws:

also the Levites shall be officers before you; to execute the sentences that should be passed by them:

deal courageously; fear not the faces of any, but judge righteously and faithfully:

and the Lord shall be with the good; with good men that do good, to bestow all needful good upon them, to protect and defend them; the Targum is,

"the Word of the Lord shall be for your help, who is good.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In religious causes, Amariah, the high priest, was to preside over the court; in civil or criminal causes, Zebadiah was to be president. And to Levites, other than the judges, he assigned the subordinate offices about the court.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 19:11. Behold, Amariah — Here was a two-fold jurisdiction, ecclesiastical and civil: in the ecclesiastical court, Amariah the high-priest was supreme judge, in the civil court, Zebadiah was supreme. To assist both the Levites were a sort of counsellors.

WITHOUT good and wholesome laws, no nation can be prosperous: and vain are the best laws if they be not judiciously and conscientiously administered. The things of GOD and the things of the KING should never be confounded in the administration of justice. Amariah the priest, and Zebadiah the ruler, should ever have their distinct places of jurisdiction.
