2 Chronicles 19:2

1 Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem.

2 And Jehu the son of Hanani ^athe seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and ^blove those who hate the Lord? Therefore the ^cwrath of the Lord is upon you.

3 Nevertheless ^agood things are found in you, in that you have removed the¹ wooden images from the land, and have ^bprepared your heart to seek God.”

The Reforms of Jehoshaphat

4 So Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the mountains of Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord God of their ^afathers.

5 Then he set ^ajudges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

6 and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for ^ayou do not judge for man but for the Lord, ^bwho is with you in the judgment.

2 Chronicles 19:2

Jehu the son of Hanani - We have met with this prophet before; see the note on I Kings 16:7.

Therefore is wrath upon thee - That is, Thou deservest to be punished. And who can doubt this, who knows that he did help the ungodly, and did love them that hated Jehovah? And is not the wrath of God upon all those alliances which his people form with the ungodly, whether they be social, matrimonial, commercial, or political?
