Jehoshaphat, whose name means "Yahweh is judge," was the king of Judah. He lived in Jerusalem, but he went out among the people, traveling from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, encouraging the people to return to the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
He appointed judges throughout the nation in all the fortified towns, and he said to them, "Always think carefully before pronouncing judgment. Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the LORD.
He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case. Fear the LORD and judge with integrity, for the LORD our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes." 2 Chronicles 19:4-7 NLT
He that is greedy brings grief to the whole family, but those who hate bribes will live. Proverbs 15:27 NLT
