2 Chronicles 19 · Grade 4

Faithfully and with a Perfect Heart

Name Date

Read and Think

When Jehoshaphat came home safely from the battle, Jehu son of Hanani met him with a hard word. Should you help the wicked and love those who hate Yahweh? Yet Jehu also saw good in him, for he had removed the Asherah poles and set his heart to seek God.

Jehoshaphat responded by going out himself among the people, from Beersheba to Ephraim, to bring them back to Yahweh. Then he appointed judges in every fortified city of Judah. He told them to consider what they did, for they judged not for man but for Yahweh, who was with them in judgment.

In Jerusalem he set Levites, priests, and heads of families to decide hard cases. He charged them to act in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart, and to warn the people not to sin. Amariah the chief priest led in God's matters, and Zebadiah in the king's matters. Deal courageously, he said.
