Midrasz do Królów II 25:19

וּמִן־הָעִ֡יר לָקַח֩ סָרִ֨יס אֶחָ֜ד אֲ‍ֽשֶׁר־ה֥וּא פָקִ֣יד ׀ עַל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַמִּלְחָמָ֗ה וַחֲמִשָּׁ֨ה אֲנָשִׁ֜ים מֵרֹאֵ֤י פְנֵֽי־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִמְצְא֣וּ בָעִ֔יר וְאֵ֗ת הַסֹּפֵר֙ שַׂ֣ר הַצָּבָ֔א הַמַּצְבִּ֖א אֶת־עַ֣ם הָאָ֑רֶץ וְשִׁשִּׁ֥ים אִישׁ֙ מֵעַ֣ם הָאָ֔רֶץ הַֽנִּמְצְאִ֖ים בָּעִֽיר׃

A z miasta zabrał dworzanina jednego, który ustanowiony był nad wojownikami, i siedmiu mężów z najbliższego otoczenia królewskiego, którzy znajdowali się w mieście, i kanclerza naczelnika wojska, który rekrutował ludność kraju, i sześćdziesięciu ludzi z ludności kraju, którzy znajdowali się w mieście. 

Shir HaShirim Rabbah

Rabbi Yoḥanan interpreted the verse regarding the Sanhedrin. “Behold the bed [mitato],” his tribes [matotav] and his clans, just as you say: “The oaths to the tribes [matot]” (Habakkuk 3:9); “of Solomon [Shlomo],” of the king [of Whom it may be said] that peace [shalom] is His; “sixty valiant men,” these are the sixty people from the people of the land; that is what is written: “And sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city” (II Kings 25:19); “from the valiant of Israel,” these are the eleven men; that is what is written: “The captain of the guards took Seraya the chief priest, Tzefanyahu the deputy priest, and the three gatekeepers. From the city he took one official [saris] (II Kings 25:18–19),” this is the most distinguished member of the court. Why is he called saris? It is because he reorders and resolves [mesares] the halakha; “and five men of those who see the king's face (II Kings 25:19),” this is eleven. When it says “seven [men of those who see the king’s face]” (Jeremiah 52:25), that is to add two scribes of the judges who sit before them. “From the valiant of Israel,” as they benefit Israel with their might.
“Each armed with a sword,” Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yosei, Rabbi Meir says: They would all study halakha like a sword, so if an incident comes before them, the halakha would not be dull for them.88They studied intensely, so that they would be sharp and clear in their halakhic rulings and analyses. Rabbi Yosei says: During a trial, all of them deliberate how best to issue a verdict regarding the incident, and they fear the judgment of Gehenna.
Rabbi Menaḥem son-in-law of Rabbi Elazar bar Avuna [said] in the name of Rabbi Yaakov bar Avina: If a woman comes before you to the study hall to ask you a question regarding her stain or her menstruation, look upon her as though she emerged from your loins and do not look at her covetously; fear the judgment of Gehenna.
