In context — 2 Chronicles 19:10
Whenever any dispute comes before you from your brothers who live in their cities—whether over blood, the law, commandments, statutes , or judgments—you are to warn them so that they do not incur guilt before the LORD . Otherwise His wrath will rest upon you and your brothers. Act in this way, and you will not be guilty.
