2 Kronieken 19:2-3

2 En Jehu, de zoon van Hanani, de ziener, ging uit, hem tegen, en zeide tot den koning Josafat: Zoudt gij den goddeloze helpen, en die den HEERE haten, liefhebben? Nu is daarom over u van het aangezicht des HEEREN grote toornigheid.
3 Evenwel goede dingen zijn bij u gevonden; want gij hebt de bossen uit het land weggedaan, en uw hart gericht om God te zoeken.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 19

Jehoshaphat returning from the battle at Ramothgilead, was met by a prophet, who reproved him for helping the ungodly, 2Ch 19:1-3, which quickened him to a greater regard for the reformation of his kingdom, 2Ch 19:4, and he set judges in all the cities of Judah, and exhorted them to do justice, 2Ch 19:5-7, and in the city of Jerusalem he appointed priests and Levites for the same purpose, and gave them a strict charge, and animated and encouraged them to perform their office faithfully, 2Ch 19:8-11.
