Chapter 19

1

AND Yahushaphat the king of Yahudah returned to his house in peace to Yerushalayim.

2

And Yahu the son of Chananiy the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Yahushaphat, Should you help the wicked, and love them that hate Yahuah? therefore is wrath upon you from before Yahuah.

3

Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have taken away the Asherah poles out of the land, and have prepared your heart to seek Elohiym.

4

And Yahushaphat dwelt at Yerushalayim: and he went out again through the people from Be'er Sheva to Mount Ephrayim, and brought them back unto El-Yahuah Elohai of their fathers.

5

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

6

And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for Yahuah, who is with you in the judgment.

7

Wherefore now let the fear of Yahuah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahuah Elohaynu, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

8

Moreover in Yerushalayim did Yahushaphat set of the Leviyiym, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Yashar'el, for the judgment of Yahuah, and for controversies, when they returned to Yerushalayim.

9

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Yahuah, 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 Torah and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against Yahuah, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

11

And, behold, Amaryahu the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahuah; and Zevadyahu the son of Yishma'el, the ruler of the house of Yahudah, for all the king's matters: also the Leviyiym shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Yahuah shall be with the good.
