1 Iehoshaphat, reproued by Iehu, visiteth his
kingdome. 5 His instructions to the Iudges,
8 To the Priests and Leuites.
1
And Iehoshaphat the
king of Iudah returned
to his house in peace to
Ierusalem.
2
And Iehu the sonne
of Hanani the seer, went out to meete
him, and sayd to king Iehoshaphat,
Shouldest thou helpe the vngodly, and
loue them that hate the Lord?
Therefore is wrath vpon thee from before
the Lord.
-- --
Iehoshaphat: His fast, and prayer.
3
Neuerthelesse, there note are good
things found in thee, in that thou hast
taken away the groues out of the land,
and hast prepared thine heart to seeke
God.
4
And Iehoshaphat dwelt at Ierusalem:
and note hee went out againe
through the people, from Beer-sheba
to mount Ephraim, and brought them
backe vnto the Lord God of their
fathers.
5
¶ And he set Iudges in the land,
throughout all the fenced cities of Iudah,
city by city,
6
And said to the Iudges, Take
heed what ye doe: for yee iudge not for
man, but for the Lord, who is with
you note in the iudgement.
7
Wherefore now, let the feare of
the Lord be vpon you, take heed
and doe it: for there is no note iniquitie with
the Lord our God, nor respect of
persons, nor taking of gifts.
8
¶ Moreouer in Ierusalem did Iehoshaphat
set of the Leuites, and of the
Priests, and of the chiefe of the fathers
of Israel, for the iudgement of the
Lord, and for controuersies, when
they returned to Ierusalem.
9
And hee charged them, saying,
Thus shall yee doe in the feare of the
Lord faithfully, and with a perfect
heart.
10
And what cause soeuer shal come
to you of your brethren that dwell in
their cities, betweene blood and blood,
betweene Law and Commandement,
Statutes and Iudgements, yee shall
euen warne them that they trespasse
not against the Lord, and so wrath
come vpon you, and vpon your brethren:
this doe, ∧ ye shall not trespasse.
11
And behold, Amariah the chiefe
Priest is ouer you in all matters of the
Lord, and Zebadiah the sonne of
Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Iudah,
for all the Kings matters: Also
the Leuites shall be officers before you.
noteDeale couragiously, and the Lord
shalbe with the good.
