THE MESSAGE
And he was diligent in appointing judges in the land—each of the fortress cities had its judge. He charged the judges: "This is serious work; do it carefully. You are not merely judging between men and women; these are God 's judgments that you are passing on. Live in the fear of God —be most careful, for God hates dishonesty, partiality, and bribery."

Contextual Overview
5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Yehudah, city by city, 6 and said to the judges, Consider what you do: for you don't judge for man, but for the LORD; and [he is] with you in the judgment. 7 Now therefore let the fear of the LORD be on you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes. 8 Moreover in Yerushalayim did Yehoshafat set of the Levites and the Kohanim, and of the heads of the fathers' [houses] of Yisra'el, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies. They returned to Yerushalayim. 9 He charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 10 Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and mitzvah, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers: this do, and you shall not be guilty. 11 Behold, Amaryah the chief Kohen is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zevadyah the son of Yishma'el, the ruler of the house of Yehudah, in all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD be with the good.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,.... Inferior judges in lesser courts of judicature than that at Jerusalem, and that in every city, that judgment and justice might be executed everywhere; such were appointed by David, but had been neglected, and now restored, see 1 Chronicles 26:29.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
What exact change Jehoshaphat made in the judicial system of Judah Deu 16:18; 1 Chronicles 23:4, it is impossible to determine. Probably he found corruption widely spread 2 Chronicles 19:7, and the magistrates in some places tainted with the prevailing idolatry. He therefore made a fresh appointment of judges throughout the whole country; concentrating judicial authority in the hands of a few, or creating superior courts in the chief towns (“fenced cities”), with a right of appeal to such courts from the village judge.
