2 Chronicles 19:1-7 ▼

1 Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his home in Jerusalem in peace.

2 Then Jehu  son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him  and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Do you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD ?  Because of this, the LORD’s wrath is on you. 

3 However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the ^•Asherah poles from the land and have decided to seek God.” 

4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beer-sheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to ^•Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. 

5 He appointed judges in all the fortified cities of the land of Judah, city by city. 

6 Then he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man, but for the LORD , who is with you in the matter of judgment. 

7 And now, may the terror of the LORD be on you. Watch what you do, for there is no injustice or partiality or taking bribes with the LORD our God.”
