19:1 Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
returned
in
safety
to
his
house
in
Jerusalem.
19:2 But
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani
the
seer
went
out
to
meet
him
and
said
to
King
Jehoshaphat,
"Should
you
help
the
wicked
and
love
those
who
hate
the
LORD
Because
of
this,
wrath
has
gone
out
against
you
from
the
LORD.
19:3 Nevertheless,
some
good
is
found
in
you,
for
you
destroyed
the
Asherahs
out
of
the
land,
and
have
set
your
heart
to
seek
God."
19:4 Jehoshaphat
lived
at
Jerusalem.
And
he
went
out
again
among
the
people,
from
Beersheba
to
the
hill
country
of
Ephraim,
and
brought
them
back
to
the
LORD,
the
God
of
their
fathers.
19:5 He
appointed
judges
in
the
land
in
all
the
fortified
cities
of
Judah,
city
by
city,
19:6 and
said
to
the
judges,
"Consider
what
you
do,
for
you
judge
not
for
man
but
for
the
LORD.
He
is
with
you
in
giving
judgment.
19:7 Now
then,
let
the
fear
of
the
LORD
be
upon
you.
Be
careful
what
you
do,
for
there
is
no
injustice
with
the
LORD
our
God,
or
partiality
or
taking
bribes."
19:8 Moreover,
in
Jerusalem
Jehoshaphat
appointed
certain
Levites
and
priests
and
heads
of
families
of
Israel,
to
give
judgment
for
the
LORD
and
to
decide
disputed
cases.
They
had
their
seat
at
Jerusalem.
19:9 And
he
charged
them:
"Thus
you
shall
do
in
the
fear
of
the
LORD,
in
faithfulness,
and
with
your
whole
heart:
19:10 whenever
a
case
comes
to
you
from
your
brothers
who
live
in
their
cities,
concerning
bloodshed,
law
or
commandment,
statutes
or
rules,
then
you
shall
warn
them,
that
they
may
not
incur
guilt
before
the
LORD
and
wrath
may
not
come
upon
you
and
your
brothers.
Thus
you
shall
do,
and
you
will
not
incur
guilt.
19:11 And
behold,
Amariah
the
chief
priest
is
over
you
in
all
matters
of
the
LORD;
and
Zebadiah
the
son
of
Ishmael,
the
governor
of
the
house
of
Judah,
in
all
the
king's
matters,
and
the
Levites
will
serve
you
as
officers.
Deal
courageously,
and
may
the
LORD
be
with
the
upright!"
