Jehu warns King Jehoshaphat
19 King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned safely to his home in Jerusalem. 2 The prophet Jehu, Hanani's son, went to meet him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, ‘You agreed to help a wicked man. You became the friend of someone who hates the Lord. You should not have done that. You have caused the Lord to be very angry with you.[a] 3 But you have done some good things. You have removed the Asherah poles from Judah's land. You have chosen to serve God.’
