Qualification of Leaders

Abel and God-fearing

Exodus 18:21  

But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

2 Samuel 23:3  

The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: ‘When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God,

Ezra 7:25
  
And you, Ezra, in accordance with the wisdom of your God, which you possess, appoint magistrates and judges to administer justice to all the people of Trans-Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach any who do not know them.

Truthful

Deuteronomy 16:19  

Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

Of a disposition of reuse bribes

Exodus 23:8  

“Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.

Wise and understanding

Deuteronomy 1:13

Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”

Fearless

Deuteronomy 1:17  

Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.

Strong and courageous

 Joshua 1:7

 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
