chapter 19
1
And
Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said
to him: Thou helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them
that hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the
Lord:
3 But good works are found in thee, because thou hast
taken away the groves out of the land of Juda, and hast prepared thy heart to
seek the Lord the God of thy fathers.
4 And Josaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out
again to the people from Bersabee to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to
the Lord the God of their fathers.
5 And he set judges of the land in all the fenced
cities of Juda, in every place.
6 And charging the judges, he said: Take heed what you
do: for you exercise not the judgment of man, but of the Lord: and whatsoever
you judge, it shall redound to you.
7 Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all
things with diligence: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, a nor
respect of persons, nor desire of gifts.
8 In Jerusalem also Josaphat appointed Levites, and
priests and chiefs of the families of Israel, to judge the judgment and the
cause of the Lord for the inhabitants thereof.
9 And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you do in the
fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
10 Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren,
that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is
question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications:
shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not
come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin.
11 And Amarias the priest your high priest shell be
chief in the things which regard God: and Zabadias the son of Ismahel, who is
ruler in the house of Juda, shall be over those matters which belong to the
king's office : and you have before you the Levites for masters, take courage
and do diligently, and the Lord will be with you in good things.
