[1] Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. [2] 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 Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh. [3] Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.” [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 Yahweh, the God of their fathers. [5] He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, [6] and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment. [7] Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.” [8] Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites, priests, and heads of the fathers’ households of Israel to give judgment for Yahweh and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem. [9] He commanded them, saying, “You shall do this in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. [10] Whenever any controversy comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you must warn them, that they not be guilty toward Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you will not be guilty. [11] Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may Yahweh be with the good.”
King James Version
[1] And Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 returned H7725 to his house H1004 in peace H7965 to Jerusalem. H3389 [2] And Jehu H3058 the son H1121 of Hanani H2607 the seer H2374 went out H3318 to meet H6440 him, and said H559 to king H4428 Jehoshaphat, H3092 Shouldest thou help H5826 the ungodly, H7563 and love H157 them that hate H8130 the Lord? H3068 therefore H2063 is wrath H7110 upon H5921 thee from before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [3] Nevertheless H61 there are good H2896 things H1697 found H4672 in thee, in that thou hast taken away H1197 the groves H842 out of H4480 the land, H776 and hast prepared H3559 thine heart H3824 to seek H1875 God. H430 [4] And Jehoshaphat H3092 dwelt H3427 at Jerusalem: H3389 and he went out H3318 again H7725§ through the people H5971 from Beer-sheba H884 to mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 and brought them back H7725 unto the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers. H1 [5] And he set H5975 judges H8199 in the land H776 throughout all the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 city H5892 by city, H5892 [6] and said H559 to the judges, H8199 Take heed H7200 what H4100 ye do: H6213 for H3588 ye judge H8199 not H3808 for H3588 man, H120 but for the Lord, H3068 who is with you in the judgment.§ H1697 H4941 [7] Wherefore now let the fear H6343 of the Lord H3068 be upon you; take heed H8104 and do H6213 it: for there is no iniquity H5766 with H5973 the Lord H3068 our God, H430 nor respect H4856 of persons, H6440 nor taking H4727 of gifts. H7810 [8] Moreover in Jerusalem H3389 did Jehoshaphat H3092 set H5975 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 to Jerusalem. H3389 [9] And he charged H6680 them, saying, H559 Thus H3541 shall ye do H6213 in the fear H3374 of the Lord, H3068 faithfully, H530 and with a perfect H8003 heart. H3824 [10] And what cause H7379 soever shall come H935 to you of your brethren H251 that dwell H3427 in their cities, H5892 between H996 blood H1818 and blood, H1818 between H996 law H8451 and commandment, H4687 statutes H2706 and judgments, H4941 ye shall even warn H2094 them that they trespass H816 not H3808 against H5921 the Lord, H3068 and so wrath H7110 come upon you, and upon your brethren: H251 this H3541 do, H6213 and ye shall not trespass. H816 [11] 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 before H6440 you. Deal H6213 courageously, H2388§ and the Lord H3068 shall be with the good. H2896
