Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt. 11And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you fin all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters, and the Levites will serve you as officers. gDeal courageously, and may the Lord be with the upright!”
