And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.
Some of them shall be stationed in the king's fortresses, and some appointed to trusted positions in the government; let their own overseers and leaders be chosen from among themselves, and let them live according to their own laws, just as the king has commanded in the land of Judea.
