2 Chronicles 19

יהושפט returns safely to Jerusalem after battle, where the prophet יֵהוּא son of חֲנָנִי rebukes him for allying with the wicked אחאב who hates YHWH, though good is found in him for removing the Asherah poles and preparing his heart to seek God[1][2][3][5]. He travels from בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע to hill country of אֶפְרַיִם, calls people back to YHWH אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָם, appoints judges in fortified cities charging them to judge for YHWH with fear and impartiality, and establishes Levites and priests in Jerusalem for cases per תּוֹרַת YHWH[1][2][4].
