# General Information:

The words "you" and "your" in this verse refers to those persons Jehoshaphat appointed to be judges.

# Connecting Statement:

Jehoshaphat continues to instruct some of the Levites and the priests, and some of the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, who he appointed to be judges.

# See, Amariah

"Pay attention, because what I am about to say is both true and important: Amariah"

# Amariah ... Zebadiah ... Ishmael

These are the names of men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# is over you

"is in charge of you"

# of all the matters of the king

Here Jehoshaphat speaks of himself in the third person. This can be translated in the first person. Alternate translation: "of all my royal matters" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])
