Καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ Ἰοὺ ὁ τοῦ Ἁνανεὶ ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφάτ, εἰ ἁμαρτωλῷ σὺ βοηθεῖς ἢ μισουμένῳ ὑπὸ Κυρίου φιλιάζεις; διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σέ ὀργὴ παρὰ Κυρίου·

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ λόγοι ἀγαθοὶ ηὑρέθησαν ἐν σοί, ὅτι ἐξῆρας τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα, καὶ κατηύθυνας τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον.

καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰωσαφάτ, πάλιν ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λαὸν ἀπὸ Βεηρσάβεε ἕως ὄρους Ἐφράιμ. καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.

καὶ κατέστησεν κριτὰς πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα ταῖς ἀχυροῖς ἐν πόλει καὶ πόλει.

καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς κριταῖς Ἴδετε τί ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ ὑμεῖς κρίνετε ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ. καὶ μεθʼ ὑμῶν λόγοι τῆς κρίσεως.

καὶ νῦν γενέσθω φόβος Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς· φυλάσσετε καὶ ποιήσετε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν μετὰ Κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀδικία οὐδὲ θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον οὐδὲ λαβεῖν δῶρα.

καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ κατέστησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευειτῶν καὶ τῶν πατριαρχῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς κρίσιν Κυρίου καὶ κρίνειν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων Οὕτως ποιήσετε ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν πλήρει καρδία·

πᾶς ¹² ἀνὴρ κρίσιν τὴν ἐλθοῦσαν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ³ ἀνὰ μέσον αἵματος, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον προστάγματος καὶ ἐντολῆς, καὶ δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα· καὶ διαστελεῖσθε αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσονται τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν· οὕτως ποιήσετε, καὶ οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεσθε.

καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἀμαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἡγούμενος ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς εἰς πᾶν λόγον Κυρίου, καὶ Σαβδείας ὁ ἡγούμενος εἰς οἶκον Ἰούδα πρὸς πᾶν λόγον βασιλέως, καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· ἰσχύσατε καὶ ποιήσατε, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ.

Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

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.

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.

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.

He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

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.

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.

Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of Israel, for the judgment of Yahweh, and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem.

He charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, 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, and you shall not be guilty.

Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Yahweh be with the good.
