2 Chron. 19:1–3 This is the Chronicler’s own addition to 1 Kings 22. Jehu the son of Hanani ministered in the days of Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kings 16:1–3). His criticism of Jehoshaphat for his alliance with the ungodly Ahab echoes his criticism of the wicked Baasha (1 Kings 16:7). Love here refers to the commitment to support a treaty. God’s wrath may be avoided or lessened by repentance (see 2 Chron. 12:7; 32:25–26).
2 Chron. 19:4 he went out again. A continuation of the religious teaching mission described in 17:7–9, this time involving the king himself. From Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim describes the limits of Judah from south to north.
2 Chron. 19:5–7 The instructions in Deut. 16:18–17:13 guide Jehoshaphat’s action in appointing judges in the fortified cities of Judah and his words to them. Israel’s judges must act out of a sense of sacred duty (you judge not for man but for the Lord) and must reflect Yahweh’s concern for justice and impartiality. Jehoshaphat’s own name means “Yahweh judges.”
2 Chron. 19:8–11 The Jerusalem court would have supplemented the local courts. It probably dealt with the more difficult disputed cases. The presiding justices Amariah the chief priest and Zebadiah . . . the governor are responsible for the interests of the temple and the crown, respectively. The judicial system has a vital role in ensuring that the nation’s life is righteous and just, so that the people do not incur guilt and wrath.
