2 Chronicles 19:7
5 He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.
6 Then he said to the judges, “Consider carefully what you do, for you are not judging for man, but for the LORD, who is with you when you render judgment.
And now, may the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”

9 He commanded them, saying, “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
