II Chronicles 19:9 ” You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord.”

Earlier in Chapter 18, God had allowed King Jehosaphat to escape death from the imposing Syrian army. But God also chastised him for his past doublemindedness. So here in Chapter 19, King Jehosaphat personally traveled throughout the kingdom drawing people back to God. He also set up a court system to enforce the Mosaic Law…charging these men to use the Law to influence their decisions…not politics, cronyism, family ties, or under the table bribes. Sure, they had many negative cases & situations arise, but they were to place their trust, heart, and mind steadfastly in God’s Word, not their own understanding. And in doing so, would draw the people back to God by their obedience.
