2nd Samuel 7

1Now when the king lived in his house and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies,  2the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.”  3And Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

4But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan,  5“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: Would you build me a house to dwell in?  6I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.  7In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’  8Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.  9And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.  10And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly,  11from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house.  12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.  13He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.  14I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men,  15but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.  16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’”  17In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.

Exodus 18 ● Jethro's Advice

13The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening.  14When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?”  15And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God;  16when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.”  17Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.  18You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone.  19Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God,  20and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do.  21Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.  22And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.  23If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.”

24So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.  25Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.  26And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves.  27Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went away to his own country.

Deuteronomy 1 ● Leaders Appointed

6“The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.  7Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negeb and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.  8See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’

9“At that time I said to you, ‘I am not able to bear you by myself.  10The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as numerous as the stars of heaven.  11May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!  12How can I bear by myself the weight and burden of you and your strife?  13Choose for your tribes wise, understanding, and experienced men, and I will appoint them as your heads.’  14And you answered me, ‘The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do.’  15So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and set them as heads over you, commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, commanders of tens, and officers, throughout your tribes.  16And I charged your judges at that time, ‘Hear the cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien who is with him.  17You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’  18And I commanded you at that time all the things that you should do.

1st Samuel 8

12And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.

1st Samuel 22

7And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, people of Benjamin; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,  8that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day.”
