Everything else that Jehoshaphat did, from the beginning of his reign to its end, is recorded in The History of Jehu Son of Hanani,which is a part of The History of the Kings of Israel.

The LORD spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message for Baasha:

That message from the LORD against Baasha and his family was given by the prophet Jehu because of the sins that Baasha committed against the LORD. He aroused the LORD's anger not only because of the evil he did, just as King Jeroboam had done before him, but also because he killed all of Jeroboam's family.

And so, in accordance with what the LORD had said against Baasha through the prophet Jehu, Zimri killed all the family of Baasha.

At that time the prophet Hanani went to King Asa and said, "Because you relied on the king of Syria instead of relying on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Israel has escaped from you.

Saul replied, "A good idea! Let's go." So they went to the town where the holy man lived. As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women who were coming out to draw water. They asked these women, "Is the seer in town?" (At that time a prophet was called a seer, and so whenever someone wanted to ask God a question, he would say, "Let's go to the seer.")

He asked, "Will you go with me to attack Ramoth?" Jehoshaphat replied, "I am ready when you are, and so is my army. We will join you."

Then King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to attack the city of Ramoth in Gilead.

(There was no one else who had devoted himself so completely to doing wrong in the LORD's sight as Ahab---all at the urging of his wife Jezebel.

They despise those whom God rejects, but honor those who obey the LORD. They always do what they promise, no matter how much it may cost.

O LORD, how I hate those who hate you! How I despise those who rebel against you!

I hate them with a total hatred; I regard them as my enemies.

My child, when sinners tempt you, don't give in.

They may be alive and well when we find them, but they'll be dead when we're through with them!

Come and join us, and we'll all share what we steal."

They can't wait to do something bad. They're always ready to kill.

but people like that are setting a trap for themselves, a trap in which they will die.

They know that God's law says that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet, not only do they continue to do these very things, but they even approve of others who do them.

Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light.

So then, if some come to you who do not bring this teaching, do not welcome them in your homes; do not even say, "Peace be with you."

For anyone who wishes them peace becomes their partner in the evil things they do.

Ahab answered, "There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad." "You shouldn't say that!" Jehoshaphat replied.

Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.

Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, for I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.

but he will not hesitate to punish those who hate him.

that I will sharpen my flashing sword and see that justice is done. I will take revenge on my enemies and punish those who hate me.

LORD, help their tribe to grow strong; Be pleased with what they do. Crush all their enemies; Let them never rise again."

The king will capture all his enemies; he will capture everyone who hates him.

God rises up and scatters his enemies. Those who hate him run away in defeat.

I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.

"If the world hates you, just remember that it has hated me first.

Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

and speak evil of one another; they are hateful to God, insolent, proud, and boastful; they think of more ways to do evil; they disobey their parents;

And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it.

Unfaithful people! Don't you know that to be the world's friend means to be God's enemy? If you want to be the world's friend, you make yourself God's enemy.

But Hezekiah was too proud to show gratitude for what the LORD had done for him, and Judah and Jerusalem suffered for it.

We are destroyed by your anger; we are terrified by your fury.

You place our sins before you, our secret sins where you can see them.

God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known.

If we would examine ourselves first, we would not come under God's judgment.

But we are judged and punished by the Lord, so that we shall not be condemned together with the world.
