Chapter 19

¹King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned in safety to his house in Jerusalem. ²But 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. ³Nevertheless, some good is found in you, for you destroyed the Asheroth out of the land, and you have set your heart to seek God.” ⁴Jehoshaphat lived in 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. ⁵He appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, ⁶and 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. ⁷Now 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.” ⁸Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel to give judgment for the LORD and to decide disputed cases. They had their seat in Jerusalem. ⁹And he charged them: “Thus you shall do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a whole heart: ¹⁰Whenever a case comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities, involving bloodshed, law or commandment, statutes or rules, then you shall warn them not to incur guilt before the LORD, lest wrath come upon you and your brothers. Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt. ¹¹Behold, 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 as officers before you. Deal courageously, and may the LORD be with the upright!”
