2 Chronicles 19:1–4, “And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God. And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.”
Jehoshaphat had sinned by making an alliance with Ahab and Jehu, a prophet, told him that he had sinned in this regard. The Lord was angry with Jehoshaphat but was willing to accept him because he believed God, like Abraham of old. Jehoshaphat accepted that he had sinned and tried to make amends by going throughout his land and encouraging the people to follow the Lord wholeheartedly.
