2 Chronicles 19:2-3

2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him. “Why should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD ?” he asked the king. “Because of what you have done, the LORD is very angry with you.
3 Even so, there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles throughout the land, and you have committed yourself to seeking God.”
