Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Second
Chronicles: Chapter 19
1. AND
Je-hosh-a-phat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to
Jerusalem.
2. And Jehu the son of Ha-na-ni the seer went out to meet him, and said
to king Je-hosh-a-phat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them
that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
3. Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast
taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to
seek God.
4. And Je-hosh-a-phat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through
the people from Beer-sheba to mount E-phra-im, 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 judge not for
man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
7. Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do
it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of
persons, nor taking of gifts.
8. Moreover in Jerusalem did Je-hosh-a-phat set of the Levites, and of
the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment
of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.
9. And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the
LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10. And 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, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not
against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren:
this do, and ye shall not trespass.
11. And, behold, Am-a-ri-ah the chief priest is over you in all matters
of the LORD; and Zeb-a-di-ah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house
of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers
before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the
good.
