019:001 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in
peace to Jerusalem.
019:002 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him,
and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should you help the wicked,
and love those who hate Yahweh? for this thing wrath is on you
from before Yahweh.
019:003 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you
have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set
your heart to seek God.
019:004 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem: and he went out again among
the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim,
and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
019:005 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities
of Judah, city by city,
019:006 and said to the judges, Consider what you do: for you
don't judge for man, but for Yahweh; and [he is] with you
in the judgment.
019:007 Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you; take heed and do it:

between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances,
you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards Yahweh,
and so wrath come on you and on your brothers: this do,

the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters:
also the Levites shall be officers before you.

and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites,
came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
020:002 Then there came some who told Jehoshaphat, saying, There comes
a great multitude against you from beyond the sea from Syria;
and behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar (the same is En Gedi).
020:003 Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek to Yahweh;
and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
020:004 Judah gathered themselves together, to seek [help] of Yahweh:
