2Chr 19
1
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat,
Should you help the wicked, and love them that hate YHWH? for this thing anger is
upon you from before YHWH.
3
Nevertheless 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.
4
And 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 to YHWH, the God of their fathers.
5
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by
city,
6
and said to the judges, Consider what you do: for you judge not for man, but for YHWH;
and [he is] with you in the judgment.
7
Now therefore let the fear of YHWH be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is
no iniquity with YHWH our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.
8
Moreover 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 YHWH, and for controversies.
And they returned to Jerusalem.
9
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of YHWH, faithfully, and
with a perfect heart.
10
And whenever 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,
you shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards YHWH, and so anger come upon
you and upon your brethren: this do, and you shall not be guilty.
11
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of YHWH; 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 YHWH be with the
good.
