1 # And Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> returned <07725> (8799) to his house <01004> in peace <07965> to Jerusalem <03389>.
2 And Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Hanani <02607> the seer <02374> went out <03318> (8799) to meet <06440> him, and said <0559> (8799) to king <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092>, Shouldest thou help <05826> (8800) the ungodly <07563>, and love <0157> (8799) them that hate <08130> (8802) the LORD <03068>? therefore <02063> is wrath <07110> upon thee from before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
3 Nevertheless <061> there are good <02896> things <01697> found <04672> (8738) in thee, in that thou hast taken away <01197> (8765) the groves <0842> out of the land <0776>, and hast prepared <03559> (8689) thine heart <03824> to seek <01875> (8800) God <0430>.
4 And Jehoshaphat <03092> dwelt <03427> (8799) at Jerusalem <03389>: and he went out <03318> (8799) again <07725> (8799) through the people <05971> from Beersheba <0884> to mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, and brought them back <07725> (8686) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>.
5 # And he set <05975> (8686) judges <08199> (8802) in the land <0776> throughout all the fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, city <05892> by city <05892>,
6 And said <0559> (8799) to the judges <08199> (8802), Take heed <07200> (8798) what ye do <06213> (8802): for ye judge <08199> (8799) not for man <0120>, but for the LORD <03068>, who is with you in the judgment <01697> <04941>.
7 Wherefore now let the fear <06343> of the LORD <03068> be upon you; take heed <08104> (8798) and do <06213> (8798) it: for there is no iniquity <05766> with the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, nor respect <04856> of persons <06440> , nor taking <04727> of gifts <07810>.
8 Moreover in Jerusalem <03389> did Jehoshaphat <03092> set <05975> (8689) of the Levites <03881>, and of the priests <03548>, and of the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, for the judgment <04941> of the LORD <03068> , and for controversies <07379>, when they returned <07725> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.
9 And he charged <06680> (8762) them, saying <0559> (8800), Thus shall ye do <06213> (8799) in the fear <03374> of the LORD <03068>, faithfully <0530>, and with a perfect <08003> heart <03824>.
10 And what cause <07379> soever shall come <0935> (8799) to you of your brethren <0251> that dwell <03427> (8802) in their cities <05892>, between blood <01818> and blood <01818>, between law <08451> and commandment <04687>, statutes <02706> and judgments <04941>, ye shall even warn <02094> (8689) them that they trespass <0816> (8799) not against the LORD <03068>, and so wrath <07110> come upon you, and upon your brethren <0251>: this <03541> do <06213> (8799), and ye shall not trespass <0816> (8799).
11 And, behold, Amariah <0568> the chief <07218> priest <03548> is over you in all matters <01697> of the LORD <03068>; and Zebadiah <02069> the son <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, the ruler <05057> of the house <01004> of Judah <03063> , for all the king's <04428> matters <01697>: also the Levites <03881> shall be officers <07860> (8802) before <06440> you. Deal <06213> (8798) courageously <02388> (8798), and the LORD <03068> shall be with the good <02896>.
