2 Chronicles 19:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.

3 However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.”

4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

5 He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.

6 Then he said to the judges, “Consider carefully what you do, for you are not judging for man, but for the LORD, who is with you when you render judgment.
