2 Chronicles 19:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the Seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, [a]Wouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore for this thing the wrath [b]of the Lord is upon thee.
3 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.
4 ¶ So Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem, and returned and went [c]through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them again unto the Lord God of their fathers.
