This was the ground of Jehoshaphats admonition to his Judges, whereby he persuaded them to be faithful in the execution of their offices. Take heed (saith he) what ye do, for 1ye execute not the judgements of man, but of the Lord and he will be with you in the cause and judgement. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you: take heed, and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, neither respect of persons, nor receiving of rewards.
