II CHRONICLES ยท Chapter 19
19:1 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace
to Jerusalem.
19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and
said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly, and love them that
hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon you from before the LORD.
19:3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have
taken away the groves out of the land, and have prepared your heart to
seek God.
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.
19:5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities
of Judah, city by city,
19:6 And said to the judges, Take heed what all of you do: for all
of you judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
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.
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.
19:9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall all of you do in the fear
of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
19:10 And what cause whatsoever shall come to you of your brethren
that dwell in your cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment,
statutes and judgments, all of you shall even warn them that they trespass
not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren:
this do, and all of you shall not trespass.
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.
