2 Crónicas 19

Listen to 2 Crónicas 19
1 Entonces Josafat, rey de JudÔ, regresó en paz a su casa en Jerusalén.
2 Y salió a su encuentro el vidente JehĆŗ, hijo de HananĆ­, y dijo al rey Josafat: ĀæVas a ayudar al impĆ­o y amar a los que odian al SEƑOR, y con esto traer sobre ti la ira del SEƑOR?
3 Sin embargo, se han hallado en ti cosas buenas, porque has quitado las Aseras de la tierra y has dispuesto tu corazón para buscar a Dios.
4 Y habitó Josafat en JerusalĆ©n, y volvió a salir por entre el pueblo, desde Beerseba hasta la región montaƱosa de EfraĆ­n, y los hizo volver al SEƑOR, Dios de sus padres.
5 Puso jueces en el paĆ­s en todas las ciudades fortificadas de JudĆ”, ciudad por ciudad,
6 y dijo a los jueces: Mirad lo que hacĆ©is, pues no juzgĆ”is en lugar de los hombres, sino en lugar del SEƑOR que estĆ” con vosotros cuando hacĆ©is justicia.
7 Ahora pues, que el temor del SEƑOR estĆ© sobre vosotros; tened cuidado en lo que hacĆ©is, porque con el SEƑOR nuestro Dios no hay injusticia ni acepción de personas ni soborno.
8 TambiĆ©n en JerusalĆ©n Josafat puso algunos de los levitas y de los sacerdotes y algunos de los jefes de las familias de Israel, para el juicio del SEƑOR y para juzgar querellas entre los habitantes de JerusalĆ©n.
9 Y les dio órdenes, diciendo: AsĆ­ harĆ©is en el temor del SEƑOR, con fidelidad y de todo corazón.
10 Cuando llegue a vosotros cualquier querella de vuestros hermanos que habitan en sus ciudades, entre sangre y sangre, entre ley y mandamiento, estatutos y ordenanzas, vosotros los amonestarĆ©is para que no sean culpables delante del SEƑOR, y la ira no venga sobre vosotros ni sobre vuestros hermanos. AsĆ­ harĆ©is y no serĆ©is culpables.
11 Y he aquĆ­, AmarĆ­as, el sumo sacerdote, presidirĆ” sobre vosotros en todos los asuntos del SEƑOR, y ZebadĆ­as, hijo de Ismael, jefe de la casa de JudĆ”, en todos los asuntos del rey. TambiĆ©n los levitas serĆ”n oficiales delante de vosotros. Sed valientes y obrad, y sea el SEƑOR con el bueno.

2 Crónicas 19 Commentary

Chapter 19

Jehoshaphat visits his kingdom.

- Whenever we return in peace to our houses, we ought to acknowledge God's providence in preserving our going out and coming in. And if we have been kept through more than common dangers, we are, in a special manner, bound to be thankful. Distinguishing mercies lay us under strong obligations. The prophet tells Jehoshaphat he had done very ill in joining Ahab. He took the reproof well. See the effect the reproof had upon him. He strictly searched his own kingdom. By what the prophet said, Jehoshaphat perceived that his former attempts for reformation were well-pleasing to God; therefore he did what was then left undone. It is good when commendations quicken us to our duty. There are diversities of gifts and operations, but all from the same Spirit, and for the public good; and as every one has received the gift, so let him minister the same. Blessed be God for magistrates and ministers, scribes and statesmen, men of books, and men of business. Observe the charge the king gave. They must do all in the fear of the Lord, with a perfect, upright heart. And they must make it their constant care to prevent sin, as an offence to God, and what would bring wrath on the people.
