2Ch 19:1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to
Jerusalem.
2Ch 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to
king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the
Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
2Ch 19:3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast
taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek
God.
2Ch 19:4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the
people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God
of their fathers.
2Ch 19:5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of
Judah, city by city,
2Ch 19:6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man,
but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.
2Ch 19:7 Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do
it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor
taking of gifts.
2Ch 19:8 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the
priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the
Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
2Ch 19:9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord,
faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
2Ch 19:10 And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in
their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and
judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the Lord, and
so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not
trespass.
2Ch 19:11 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of
the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for
all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal
courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good.
