And Yehoshafat the king of Yehuda returned to his house in peace to Yerushalayim.

And Yehoshafat the king of Judah returned to his home in peace in Jerusalem.

And Yehu the son of Ḥanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Yehoshafat, Shouldst thou help the wicked, and love those who hate the Lord? therefore wrath is come upon thee from before the Lord.

And there went out before him Chanani the seer, and he said to the king: Would you help the wicked one [(Achav)] and would you love the foes of the L rd! And because of this there is wrath upon you from before the L rd.

Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the asherot out of the land, and hast directed thy heart to seek God.

But good things have been found with you, for you have removed the asheiroth from the land and you have readied your heart to seek out G d.

And Yehoshafat dwelt at Yerushalayim: and he went out again among the people from Be᾽er-sheva to mount Efrayim, and brought them back to the Lord God of their fathers.

And Yehoshafat sat in Jerusalem and he went out [(from time to time)] among the people from Beersheva until Mount Ephraim, and he returned them to the L rd, the G d of their fathers.

And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Yehuda, city by city.

And he set up judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, for every city.

And he said to the judges, take heed what you do: for you do not judge for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.

And he said to the judges: Look to what you are doing; for you are not judging for man but for the L rd, and [He is] with you in judgment.

And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

And now, let the fear of the L rd be upon you. Take heed and do, for there is no wrong, or favoritism, or bribe-taking with the L rd our G d.

Moreover in Yerushalayim did Yehoshafat set certain Levites, and priests, and heads of the fathers’ houses of Yisra᾽el, for the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies. And they returned to Yerushalayim.

And in Jerusalem, too, Yehoshafat set up judges from the Levites and the priests and from the heads of the fathers' [houses] of Israel for the judgment of the L rd and for litigations, and they [(those delegated to appoint judges)] returned to Jerusalem.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you do, with fear of the L rd, with faith, and with a whole heart:

And whatever cause shall come to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, concerning Tora and commandment, and statutes and judgments, you shall warn them not to trespass against the Lord, so as to bring wrath upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and you shall not trespass.

Any litigation that comes to you [(for a decision)] from your brothers [(the judges you have appointed)] who sit [in judgment] in their cities — whether [it be a judgment] between blood and blood or [a judgment of] Torah [as it applies] to mitzvah, statutes or judgments — you shall exhort them [(to abide by your decisions)] so that they not be guilty before the L rd and [His] wrath descend upon you and your brothers. Thus shall you do and you will not bear guilt.

And, behold, Amaryahu the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; and Zevadyahu the son of Yishma᾽el, the ruler of the house of Yehuda, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good.

And behold, Amaryahu the priest, your head, shall be over you for every matter [(in the province)] of the L rd, and Zevadyahu the son of Yishmael, the leader of the house of Judah, for every matter [(in the province] of the king. And the officers, the Levites, are before you [(to enforce your decisions)]. Be strong and do, and the L rd be with the [doers of] good!
