The Second Book of Chronicles
19: 1And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 19:2And 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. 19:3Nevertheless 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. 19:4And 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. 19:5And he set judges in
the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, 19:6and 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. 19:7Now
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. 19:8Moreover 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. 19:9And he
charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
19:10And 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. 19:11And, 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.
