So choose wise, intelligent and experienced men of each From your tribes, and I will put them as leaders about you.

Deuteronomy 16:18-19: "Name judges and authorities in every city that the Lord, your God, gives you to judge the people with righteousness. Do not twist justice or show bias. Eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous. " This verse relates to Jetro's suggestion for Moses to establish a judicial system to help him deal with the demands of the people.

Psalm 78:70-71: "He chose David, his servant, and took him out of the sheep's beads, the care of the lambs, to be the pastor of his people, Jacob, his inheritance."
