1And Jehoshaphat the king of Yahudah (Judah) returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate Yahuah (LORD)? therefore is wrath upon you from before Yahuah (LORD).
3Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have taken away the groves out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek Elohim (God).
4And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto Yahuah Elohim (the LORD God) of their fathers.
5And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Yahudah (Judah), city by city,
6And said to the judges, Take heed what you do: for you judge not for man, but for Yahuah (LORD), who is with you in the judgment.
7Wherefore now let the fear of Yahuah (LORD) be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahuah Eloheinu (the LORD our God), nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
8Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Yashar'el (Israel), for the judgment of Yahuah (LORD), and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of Yahuah (LORD), faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, you shall even warn them that they trespass not against Yahuah (LORD), and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and you shall not trespass.
11And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahuah (LORD); and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Yahudah (Judah), for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Yahuah (LORD) shall be with the good.
