And Jehoshaphat{H3092} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} to his house{H1004} in peace{H7965} to Jerusalem{H3389}.

And Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Hanani{H2607} the seer{H2374} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} to meet{H6440} him, and said{H559}{(H8799)} to king{H4428} Jehoshaphat{H3092}, Shouldest thou help{H5826}{(H8800)} the ungodly{H7563}, and love{H157}{(H8799)} them that hate{H8130}{(H8802)} the LORD{H3068}? therefore{H2063} is wrath{H7110} upon thee from before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}.

Nevertheless{H61} there are good{H2896} things{H1697} found{H4672}{(H8738)} in thee, in that thou hast taken away{H1197}{(H8765)} the groves{H842} out of the land{H776}, and hast prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} thine heart{H3824} to seek{H1875}{(H8800)} God{H430}.

And Jehoshaphat{H3092} dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} at Jerusalem{H3389}: and he went out{H3318}{(H8799)} again{H7725}{(H8799)} through the people{H5971} from Beersheba{H884} to mount{H2022} Ephraim{H669}, and brought them back{H7725}{(H8686)} unto the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of their fathers{H1}.

And he set{H5975}{(H8686)} judges{H8199}{(H8802)} in the land{H776} throughout all the fenced{H1219}{(H8803)} cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}, city{H5892} by city{H5892},

And said{H559}{(H8799)} to the judges{H8199}{(H8802)}, Take heed{H7200}{(H8798)} what ye do{H6213}{(H8802)}: for ye judge{H8199}{(H8799)} not for man{H120}, but for the LORD{H3068}, who is with you in the judgment{H1697}{H4941}.

Wherefore now let the fear{H6343} of the LORD{H3068} be upon you; take heed{H8104}{(H8798)} and do{H6213}{(H8798)} it: for there is no iniquity{H5766} with the LORD{H3068} our God{H430}, nor respect{H4856} of persons{H6440}, nor taking{H4727} of gifts{H7810}.

Moreover in Jerusalem{H3389} did Jehoshaphat{H3092} set{H5975}{(H8689)} of the Levites{H3881}, and of the priests{H3548}, and of the chief{H7218} of the fathers{H1} of Israel{H3478}, for the judgment{H4941} of the LORD{H3068}, and for controversies{H7379}, when they returned{H7725}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389}.

And he charged{H6680}{(H8762)} them, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thus shall ye do{H6213}{(H8799)} in the fear{H3374} of the LORD{H3068}, faithfully{H530}, and with a perfect{H8003} heart{H3824}.

And what cause{H7379} soever shall come{H935}{(H8799)} to you of your brethren{H251} that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in their cities{H5892}, between blood{H1818} and blood{H1818}, between law{H8451} and commandment{H4687}, statutes{H2706} and judgments{H4941}, ye shall even warn{H2094}{(H8689)} them that they trespass{H816}{(H8799)} not against the LORD{H3068}, and so wrath{H7110} come upon you, and upon your brethren{H251}: this{H3541} do{H6213}{(H8799)}, and ye shall not trespass{H816}{(H8799)}.

And, behold, Amariah{H568} the chief{H7218} priest{H3548} is over you in all matters{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}; and Zebadiah{H2069} the son{H1121} of Ishmael{H3458}, the ruler{H5057} of the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063}, for all the king's{H4428} matters{H1697}: also the Levites{H3881} shall be officers{H7860}{(H8802)} before{H6440} you. Deal{H6213}{(H8798)} courageously{H2388}{(H8798)}, and the LORD{H3068} shall be with the good{H2896}.
