Exegesis
The construct chain shoptei yisrael {שֹׁפְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל | šōp̄ṭê yiśrāʾēl} identifies the leaders, and the relative clause asher tsiviti {אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֛יתִי | ʾăšer ṣiwwî·tî} grounds their authority in divine commission.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:6
Wherever I have walked throughout all Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, “Why have you not built for Me a house of cedars?”
