| II Chronicles 19:11
| And Amarias, the priest, your high-priest, shall be chief in the things which regard God: and Zabadias, the son of Ismahel, who is ruler in the house of Juda, shall be over those matters which belong to the king's office: and you have before you the Levites for masters; take courage and do diligently, and the Lord will be with you in good things.
| Amarias, (1 Paralipomenon 6:11.) or rather Azarias, the father of Johanan, 1 Paralipomenon 5:9. --- Office, in civil matters. (Calmet) --- Here is a plain distinction between the spiritual and temporal authority, instituted by God, Deuteronomy xvii., and Numbers xxvii. (Worthington) (Tirinus) --- Masters. Hebrew shoterim, to execute the sentence; (Du Hamel) or "officers." --- You. Protestants, "with the good." (Haydock)
