Dual Panel1Then Jehoshaphat<3092> the king<4428> of Judah<3063> returned<7725> in safety<7965> to his house<1004> in Jerusalem<3389>.
2Jehu<3058> the son<1121> of Hanani<2607> the seer<2374> went<3318> out to meet<6440> him and said<559> to King<4428> Jehoshaphat<3092>, "Should you help<5826> the wicked<7563> and love<157> those who hate<8130> the LORD<3068> and so<2088> bring wrath<7110> on yourself from the LORD<3068>?
3"But there<4672> is some good<2896> in you, for you have removed<1197> the Asheroth<842> from the land<776> and you have set<3559> your heart<3824> to seek<1875> God<430>."
4So Jehoshaphat<3092> lived<3427> in Jerusalem<3389> and went<3318> out again<7725> among the people<5971> from Beersheba<884> to the hill<2022> country<2022> of Ephraim<669> and brought<7725> them back<7725> to the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of their fathers<1>.
5He appointed<5975> judges<8199> in the land<776> in all<3605> the fortified<1219> cities<5892> of Judah<3063>, city<5892> by city<5892>.
6He said<559> to the judges<8199>, "Consider<7200> what<4100> you are doing<6213>, for you do not judge<8199> for man<120> but for the LORD<3068> who is with you when you render<1697> judgment<4941>.
7"Now<6258> then let the fear<6343> of the LORD<3068> be upon you; be very careful<8104> what you do<6213>, for the LORD<3068> our God<430> will have<369> no<369> part in unrighteousness<5767> or partiality<5375><6440> or the taking<4727> of a bribe<7810>."
8In Jerusalem<3389> also<1571> Jehoshaphat<3092> appointed<5975> some<4480> of the Levites<3881> and priests<3548>, and some<4480> of the heads<7218> of the fathers'<1> households of Israel<3478>, for the judgment<4941> of the LORD<3068> and to judge<7378> disputes<7379> among the inhabitants<3427> of Jerusalem<3389>.
9Then he charged<6680> them saying<559>, "Thus<3541> you shall do<6213> in the fear<3374> of the LORD<3068>, faithfully<530> and wholeheartedly<3824><8003>.
10"Whenever<834> any<3605> dispute<7379> comes<935> to you from your brethren<251> who live<3427> in their cities<5892>, between<996> blood<1818> and blood<1818>, between<996> law<8451> and commandment<4687>, statutes<2706> and ordinances<4941>, you shall warn<2094> them so<3808> that they may not be guilty<816> before the LORD<3068>, and wrath<7110> may not come<1961> on you and your brethren<251>. Thus<3541> you shall do<6213> and you will not be guilty<816>.
11"Behold<2009>, Amariah<568> the chief<7218> priest<3548> will be over<5921> you in all<3605> that pertains<1697> to the LORD<3068>, and Zebadiah<2069> the son<1121> of Ishmael<3458>, the ruler<5057> of the house<1004> of Judah<3063>, in all<3605> that pertains<1697> to the king<4428>. Also the Levites<3881> shall be officers<7860> before<6440> you. Act<6213> resolutely<2388>, and the LORD<3068> be with the upright<2896>."
