2 Crônicas 19

Listen to 2 Crônicas 19
1 Quando JosafƔ, rei de JudƔ, voltou em seguranƧa ao seu palƔcio em JerusalƩm,
2 o vidente JeĆŗ, filho de Hanani, saiu ao seu encontro e lhe disse: ā€œSerĆ” que vocĆŖ devia ajudar os Ć­mpios e amar aqueles que odeiam o SENHOR? Por causa disso, a ira do SENHOR estĆ” sobre vocĆŖ.
3 Contudo, existe em vocĆŖ algo de bom, pois vocĆŖ livrou a terra dos postes sagrados e buscou a Deus de todo o seu coraçãoā€.

A Nomeação de Juízes

4 JosafÔ morava em Jerusalém; e percorreu de novo a nação, desde Berseba até os montes de Efraim, fazendo-o voltar para o SENHOR, o Deus dos seus antepassados.
5 Ele nomeou juĆ­zes em cada uma das cidades fortificadas de JudĆ”,
6 dizendo-lhes: ā€œConsiderem atentamente aquilo que fazem, pois vocĆŖs nĆ£o estĆ£o julgando para o homem, mas para o SENHOR, que estarĆ” com vocĆŖs sempre que derem um veredicto.
7 Agora, que o temor do SENHOR esteja sobre vocĆŖs. Julguem com cuidado, pois o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, nĆ£o tolera nem injustiƧa nem parcialidade nem subornoā€.
8 Também em Jerusalém nomeou JosafÔ alguns dos levitas, dos sacerdotes e dos chefes de famílias israelitas para julgarem questões da lei do SENHOR e resolverem pendências dos habitantes.
9 Deu-lhes as seguintes ordens: ā€œVocĆŖs devem servir com fidelidade e com coração Ć­ntegro, no temor do SENHOR.
10 Em cada causa que chegar a vocês da parte dos seus irmãos israelitas das outras cidades, seja de derramamento de sangue, sejam questões referentes à lei, aos mandamentos, aos decretos ou às ordenanças, vocês deverão adverti-los de que não pequem contra o SENHOR; caso contrÔrio, a ira dele virÔ sobre vocês e sobre eles. Façam assim, e vocês não pecarão.
11 ā€œAmarias, o sumo sacerdote, estarĆ” com vocĆŖs para decidir qualquer questĆ£o relacionada com o SENHOR; Zebadias, filho de Ismael, lĆ­der da tribo de JudĆ”, estarĆ” com vocĆŖs para decidir qualquer questĆ£o civil; e os levitas atuarĆ£o como oficiais diante de vocĆŖs. Cumpram seus deveres com coragem, e esteja o SENHOR com aqueles que agirem corretamenteā€.

2 Crônicas 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.
