2 Chronicles 19:1
When Jehoshaphat king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,
2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you.
3 However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
