Chap. XIX.
Iosaphat being reproued by a prophet for yelding help to Achab, 5. appoynteth
Iudges in seueral cities, admonishing them to doe iustice. 8. exhorteth
Priestes and Leuites to execute their sunctious carefully. 11. Amarias
High Priest directing and ruling in thinges belonging to God, Zabedias
general captayne gouerneth the kinges affayres.
1 And Iosaphat the king of Iuda returned into his house
peaceably, into Ierusalem.
2 Whom Iehu the sonne of
Hanani the Seer mette, and sayd to him: note To the impious
man thou geuest ayde, and to them that hate our Lord thou
art ioyned in frendship, and therfore thou didst deserue in
deed the wrath of our Lord:
3 but good workes are found in
thee, for that thou hast taken away the groues out of the land
of Iuda, and hast prepared thy hart to seeke our Lord the
God of thy fathers.
4 Iosaphat therfore dwelt in Ierusalem:
and he went forth to the people agayne from Bersabee vnto
mount Ephraim, and recalled them to our Lord the God of
their fathers.
5 And he appoynted iudges of the land in al the
fensed cities of Iuda, in euerie place,
6 and commanding the
iudges, he sayd: Take heede what you doe: for you exercise
not the iudgement of man, but of our Lord: and whatsoeuer
you shal iudge, it shal redound to you.
7 Let the feare of our
Lord be with you, and with diligence doe al thinges: for
there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God, nor acception
-- --
Iosaphat.
of personnes, nor desyre of giftes.
8 In Ierusalem also Iosaphat
appoynted Leuites, and Priestes, and princes of families of
Israel, that they should iudge the iudgement and cause of our
Lord to the inhabitantes therof.
9 And he commanded them,
saying: Thus shal you doe in the feare of our Lord faithfully,
and with a perfect hart.
10 Euerie cause, that shal come to
you of your brethren, that dwel in their cities, betwen kinred
and kinred, whersoeuer there is question of the law, of the
commandement, of ceremonies, of iustifications: shew it
them, that they sinne not agaynst our Lord, and lest there
come wrath vpon you and your brethren: so doing therfore
you shal not sinne.
11 And note Amarias the priest and your
Bishop shal be chiefe in these thinges, which pertayn to God:
moreouer Zabadias the sonne of Ismahel, who is the prince
in the house of Iuda, shal be ouer those workes, which pertayne
to the kinges office: and you haue maisters the Leuites
before you, take courage, and doe diligently, and our Lord
wil be with the good.
