1. And Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2. And Jehu, the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should thou help the ungodly and love those that hate the Lord? Therefore, the wrath of the presence of the Lord shall be upon thee.
3. Nevertheless, good things have been found in thee, in that thou hast burned down the groves of the land and hast prepared thy heart to seek God.
4. And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem, and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to Mount Ephraim and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers.
5. And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
6. and said to the judges, Take heed what ye do, for ye do not judge for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the word of judgment.
