2 Chronicles 19:1 In-Context

1 When Jehoshaphat king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,

2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.

3 However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.”

4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

5 He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.
