2 Chronicles 19
19 1And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace
to Jerusalem.
2And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him,
and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them
that hate Jehovah? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before Jehovah.
3Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put
away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thy heart to seek God.
4And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the
people from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brought them back
unto Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
5And he set judges in the land
throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
6and said to
the judges, Consider what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah;
and he is with you in the judgment.
7Now therefore let the fear
of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with
Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.
8Moreover
in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the
heads of the fathers' houses of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah,
and for controversies. And they returned to Jerusalem.
9And he charged
them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a
perfect heart.
10And whensoever any controversy shall come to you from
your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between
law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall warn them, that they
be not guilty towards Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your
brethren: this do, and ye shall not be guilty.
11And, behold, Amariah the
chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah; and Zebadiah the son of
Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters: also the
Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Jehovah be with
the good.
