1. When Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem,
2. Jehu the seer, the son of Hanani, went out to meet him and said to the king, ‘Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, the wrath of the Lord is on you.
3. There is, however, some good in you, for you have rid the land of the Asherah poles and have set your heart on seeking God.’
