1So Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, rolled back home in peace to Jerusalem. Vibes.

2Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, pulled up to him and was like, "You really gonna help the sus ones and love those who hate the Lord? That's why the Lord's got wrath on you, no cap."

3But for real, there are some good things about you, 'cause you got rid of the groves and prepped your heart to seek God. Lit.

4Jehoshaphat stayed in Jerusalem, and he went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, bringing them back to the Lord God of their fams.

5He set judges in all the cities of Judah, city by city, fr.

6He told the judges, "Yo, watch what you do: you ain't judging for man, but for the Lord, who’s got your back in judgment."

7So now, let the fear of the Lord be on you; be careful and do it: there's no sketchiness with our God, no favoritism, and no accepting gifts.

8Plus, in Jerusalem, Jehoshaphat set up the Levites, priests, and heads of Israel for the Lord's judgment and disputes when they came back to Jerusalem.

9He told them, "This is how you should roll in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. Periodt."

10And whatever case comes to you from your peeps living in their cities, whether it's blood or law stuff, you gotta warn them not to mess up against the Lord, or else wrath will come on you and your fam: do this, and you won't mess up.

11And check it, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all Lord matters; Zebadiah, son of Ishmael, is ruling the house of Judah for all the king’s things: the Levites will be your officers. Be bold, and the Lord will be with the good.

1And Jehoshaphat the king of 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, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.

3Nevertheless 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.

4And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer–sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God of their fathers.

5And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,

6And 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.

7Wherefore 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.

8Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat 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.

9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the 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, 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.

11And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah 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.
