1 And Yahoshaphat the sovereign of Yahuḏah returned to his house in peace in Yerushalayim.
2 And Yahu son of Ḥanani the seer went out to face him, and said to Sovereign Yahoshaphat, “Do you help the wicked and love those who hate 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄? Therefore the wrath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is upon you.
3 “But good matters are found in you, in that you have removed the Ashĕroth from the land, and have prepared your heart to seek Elohim.”
4 So Yahoshaphat dwelt in Yerushalayim, and he went out again among the people from Be’ĕrsheḇa to the hill country of Ephrayim, and brought them back to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim of their fathers.
5 And he appointed judges in the land in all the walled cities of Yahuḏah, city by city,
6 and said to the judges, “Watch what you are doing, for you do not judge for man, but for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who is with you in the matter of right-ruling.
7 “And now, let the reverence of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 be upon you. Guard and do it, for there is no unrighteousness with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Elohim nor partiality, nor taking of bribes.”
8 And in Yerushalayim Yahoshaphat also appointed some of the Lĕwites and kohenim, and some of the chief fathers of Yisra’ĕl, for the right-ruling of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and for dispute. Then they returned to Yerushalayim.
9 And he commanded them, saying, “Do this in the reverence of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, trustworthy and with a perfect heart:
10 “When any dispute comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between Torah and Command, Laws and Right-Rulings, then you shall warn them, lest they trespass against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and wrath come upon you and your brothers. Do this, and you shall not be guilty.
11 “And look, Amaryahu the chief kohĕn is over you in all matters of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. And Zeḇaḏyahu son of Yishma’ĕl, the ruler of the house of Yahuḏah, for all the matters of the sovereign, and the Lĕwites are officials before you. Be strong and do, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is with the good.”
