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 .
