0:00.0	A reading from the book of Second Chronicles.
0:04.8	Jehochefat, the king of Judah, returned in safety to his house in Jerusalem.
0:08.7	But Jehu, the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to King Jehochaphat,
0:13.9	should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord?
0:16.8	Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.
0:20.2	Nevertheless, some good is found in you,
0:22.5	for you destroy the Ashuroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God.
0:27.5	Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people, from Beersheba to the

Whenever a case comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities concerning bloodshed, law or commandment, statutes or rules, then you shall warn them that they may not incur guilt before the Lord, and wrath may not
1:27.8	come upon you and your brothers.
1:29.8	Thus you shall do, and you will not incur guilt.
1:32.7	And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord, and Zemadaya
1:37.9	the son of Ishmael, the governor of the House of Judah, and all the kings matters,

1:47.1	Deal courageously, and may the Lord be with the upright.
