And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned [a]safe to his house in Jerusalem.

And Jehu the son of Hanani the Seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, [b]Wouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore for this thing the wrath [c]of the Lord is upon thee.

Nevertheless good things are found in thee, because thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
