[1]And JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 returnedH7725[H8799] to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965 to JerusalemH3389.
[2]And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318[H8799] to meetH6440 him, and saidH559[H8799] to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826[H8800] the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157[H8799] them that hateH8130[H8802] the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
[3]NeverthelessH61 there are goodH2896 thingsH1697 foundH4672[H8738] in thee, in that thou hast taken awayH1197[H8765] the grovesH842 out of the landH776, and hast preparedH3559[H8689] thine heartH3824 to seekH1875[H8800] GodH430.
[4]And JehoshaphatH3092 dweltH3427[H8799] at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318[H8799] againH7725[H8799] through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725[H8686] unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
[5]And he setH5975[H8686] judgesH8199[H8802] in the landH776 throughout all the fencedH1219[H8803] citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, cityH5892 by cityH5892,
[6]And saidH559[H8799] to the judgesH8199[H8802], Take heedH7200[H8798] what ye doH6213[H8802]: for ye judgeH8199[H8799] not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068, who is with you in the judgmentH1697.[H4941]
[7]Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104[H8798] and doH6213[H8798] it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
[8]Moreover in JerusalemH3389 did JehoshaphatH3092 setH5975[H8689] of the LevitesH3881, and of the priestsH3548, and of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, for the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068, and for controversiesH7379, when they returnedH7725[H8799] to JerusalemH3389.
[9]And he chargedH6680[H8762] them, sayingH559[H8800], Thus shall ye doH6213[H8799] in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, faithfullyH530, and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
[10]And what causeH7379 soever shall comeH935[H8799] to you of your brethrenH251 that dwellH3427[H8802] in their citiesH5892, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, ye shall even warnH2094[H8689] them that they trespassH816[H8799] not against the LORDH3068, and so wrathH7110 come upon you, and upon your brethrenH251: thisH3541 doH6213[H8799], and ye shall not trespassH816.[H8799]
[11]And, behold, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 is over you in all mattersH1697 of the LORDH3068; and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, for all the king'sH4428 mattersH1697: also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860[H8802] beforeH6440 you. DealH6213[H8798] courageouslyH2388[H8798], and the LORDH3068 shall be with the goodH2896.
