TSK · 2 Samuel 23:3

There he set up an altar and called it“The God of Israel is God.”

But you choose from the people capable men, God-fearing, men of truth, those who hate bribes, and put them over the people as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

“I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.

Provision for Justice You must appoint judges and civil servants for each tribe in all your villages that the LORD your God is giving you, and they must judge the people fairly.

How can one man chase a thousand of them, and two pursue ten thousand; unless their Rock had delivered them up, and the LORD had handed them over?

He said:“The LORD is my high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer.

Respect the LORD and make careful decisions, for the LORD our God disapproves of injustice, partiality, and bribery.”

I will pray to God, my high ridge:“Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?”

Then he will judge your people fairly, and your oppressed ones equitably.

The LORD extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!
