2 Chronicles 19:2-3

2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer came out to meet him and said, "Why did you help the wicked? Why have you loved those who hate the LORD? This is why the LORD is angry with you.
3 Nevertheless, there is some good to be found in you, in that you have removed the sacred poles from the land and set your mind to seek God."
