2 Chronicles 19:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 The prophet Jehu, Hanani's son, went to meet him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, ‘You agreed to help a wicked man. You became the friend of someone who hates the Lord. You should not have done that. You have caused the Lord to be very angry with you.[a] 3 But you have done some good things. You have removed the Asherah poles from Judah's land. You have chosen to serve God.’
Jehoshaphat chooses some men to be judges
4 King Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. He also travelled around the country to meet people. He went everywhere, from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim.[b] He warned the people to turn back to the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
