The .xix. Chapter.
1 After Iehosaphat was rebuked by the prophete, he calleth againe the people to the honoring
of the Lord. 5 He appoynteth iudges and ministers, 9 and exhorteth them to feare God.
A
1 And Iehosaphat the
king of Iuda came
home againe in peace
to Hierusalem.
2 And Iehu the sonne
of Hanani the sear
went out to meete him,
and sayd to king Iehosaphat: Wouldest
thou helpe the vngodly, and loue them
that hate the Lorde? Therfore is wrath
come downe vpon thee from before the
Lorde:
3 Neuerthelesse, there are some good
actes founde in thee, in that thou hast
hewen downe the groues out of the
lande, and hast prepared thyne heart to
seke God.
4 And Iehosaphat dwelt at Hierusalem,
and turned note and went out to the people
from Beerseba to mount Ephraim, and
brought them againe vnto the Lorde
God of their fathers.
5 And he set iudges in the lande throughout
all the strong cities of Iuda, citie by
citie:
B
6 And sayde to the iudges, Take heede
what ye do: for ye execute not the iudgementes
of man, but of God, whiche is note
with you in the iudgement.
7 Wherfore now let the feare of the Lord
be vpon you, and take heede, ∧ be doyng
[the thing that pleaseth hym] for there is
no vnrighteousnes with the Lorde our
God, note that he shoulde haue any respect
of persons, or take rewardes.
8 Moreouer, in Hierusalem did Iehosaphat
set of the Leuites, ∧ of the priestes,
and of the auncient fathers, ouer Israel
in the iudgement and cause of the Lord:
And they returned againe to Hierusal&ebar;.
9 And he charged them, saying, Thus
shal ye do in the feare of the Lord faythfully,
and with a pure heart:
10 What cause soeuer come to you of your
brethren that dwell in their cities, betweene
blood and blood, betweene lawe
and commaundem&ebar;t, betweene statutes
and ordinaunces: ye shall warne them
that they trespasse not against þe; Lorde,
and so wrath come vpon you and your
brethren: Thus do, ∧ ye shal not offende.
11 And beholde, Amaria the hie priest is among
you in all matters of the Lorde,
and Zebadia the sonne of Ismael, a ruler
of the house of Iuda for all the
kinges matters: There be officers of the
Leuites also before you, Take courage
to you therfore, and be doyng [manfully]
and the Lorde shalbe with such as be
good.
