This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_19:5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
Ver. 5. And he set judges in the land.] Judges they had before; but some of them, haply, fell in the late war with the Syrians, or were otherwise wanting to their places and duties. It is a mercy to have judges, modo audeant quae sentiunt, saith the orator, {a} so they be as they should be.
Throughout all the fenced cities.] Lest soldiers should abuse their power unto violence and wrong, as they are apt to do. {Luk_3:14}
{a} Cic., pro Milone.
