Context of 2 Chronicles 19:1
King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned safely to his home in Jerusalem. 2The prophet Jehu, Hanani's son, went to meet him. He said to King Jehoshaphat, ‘You agreed to help a wicked man. You became the friend of someone who hates the Lord. You should not have done that. You have caused the Lord to be very angry with you. 3But you have done some good things. You have removed the Asherah poles from Judah's land. You have chosen to serve God.’
