2 Chronicles 19:10

In every case that comes before you from your people living in other towns, whether it involves murder or violations of the law, commandments, statutes, or judgments, you are to warn them not to offend the Lord so that punishment does not come upon you and your people. If you do this you will not be held guilty.
