King Jehoshaphat’s Religious Reforms
19 King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned safely to his home in Jerusalem. 2 Jehu, son of the seer [a] Hanani, asked King Jehoshaphat, “Why do you help wicked people and love those who hate the Lord? The Lord’s anger is directed toward you because you have done this. 3 However, you’ve done some good things: You’ve burned the Asherah poles in this country, and you’ve wholeheartedly dedicated your life to serving God.”
