2 Chronicles 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, Shouldest thou help * the ungodly, and love * them that hate * the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
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.
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.
5. And he set * judges * in the land throughout all the fenced * cities of Judah, city by city,
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.
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.
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.
9. And he charged * them, saying * , Thus shall ye do * in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
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 * .
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.
