ASV_Strong : 2 Chronicles 19
1. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] returned[H7725] to his house[H1004] in peace[H7965] to Jerusalem[H3389].
2. And Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani[H2607] the seer[H2374] went out[H3318] to meet[H6440] him[H559], and said to king[H4428] Jehoshaphat[H3092], Shouldest thou help[H5826] the wicked[H7563], and love[H157] them that hate[H8130] Jehovah[H3068]? for[H2063] this thing wrath[H7110] is upon thee from before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068].
3. Nevertheless[H61] there are good[H2896] things[H1697] found[H4672] in thee[H1197], in that thou hast put away the Asheroth[H842] out of the land[H776], and hast set[H3559] thy heart[H3824] to seek[H1875] God[H430].
4. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] dwelt[H3427] at Jerusalem[H3389]: and he went out[H3318] again[H7725] among the people[H5971] from Beer-sheba[H884] to the hill-country[H2022] of Ephraim[H669], and brought them back[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of their fathers[H1].
5. And he set[H5975] judges[H8199] in the land[H776] throughout all the fortified[H1219] cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063], city[H5892] by city[H5892],
6. and said[H559] to the judges[H8199], Consider[H7200] what ye do[H6213]: for ye judge[H8199] not for man[H120], but for Jehovah[H3068]; and he is with you in the judgment[H1697].
7. Now therefore let the fear[H6343] of Jehovah[H3068] be upon you[H8104]; take heed and do[H6213] it[H5766]: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430], nor respect[H4856] of persons[H6440], nor taking[H4727] of bribes[H7810].
8. Moreover in Jerusalem[H3389] did Jehoshaphat[H3092] set[H5975] of the Levites[H3881] and the priests[H3548], and of the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of Israel[H3478], for the judgment[H4941] of Jehovah[H3068], and for controversies[H7379]. And they returned[H7725] to Jerusalem[H3389].
9. And he charged[H6680] them[H559], saying, Thus shall ye do[H6213] in the fear[H3374] of Jehovah[H3068], faithfully[H530], and with a perfect[H8003] heart[H3824].
10. And whensoever any controversy shall come[H935] to you from your brethren[H251] that dwell[H3427] in their cities[H5892], between blood[H1818] and blood[H1818], between law[H8451] and commandment[H4687], statutes[H2706] and ordinances[H4941], ye shall warn[H2094] them[H816], that they be not guilty towards Jehovah[H3068], and so wrath[H7110] come upon you and upon your brethren[H251]: this[H3541] do[H6213], and ye shall not be guilty[H816].
11. And[H568], behold, Amariah the chief[H7218] priest[H3548] is over you in all matters[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068]; and Zebadiah[H2069] the son[H1121] of Ishmael[H3458], the ruler[H5057] of the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063], in all the king[H4428]'s matters[H1697]: also the Levites[H3881] shall be officers[H7860] before[H6440] you[H6213]. Deal courageously[H2388], and Jehovah[H3068] be with the good[H2896].
