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. |
