The Second Book of Chronicles (WEB)
19: 1Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 19:2Jehu the son of
Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the wicked,
and love those who hate Yahweh? for this thing wrath is on you from before Yahweh.
19:3Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of
the land, and have set your heart to seek God. 19:4Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem: and he went out
again among the people from Beersheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brought them back to
Yahweh, the God of their fathers. 19:5He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of
Judah, city by city, 19:6and said to the judges, Consider what you do: for you don't judge for man,
but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment. 19:7Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on
you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh 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 Yahweh, and for controversies.
They returned to Jerusalem. 19:9He charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of Yahweh,
faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 19:10Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your
brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment,
statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards Yahweh, and so
wrath come on you and on your brothers: this do, and you shall not be guilty. 19:11Behold, Amariah
the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; 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 Yahweh be with the good.
