King Jehoshaphat of Judah was criticized for his alliance with the wicked Ahab, but this reprimand was reduced in severity because on the other hand he had combatted paganism and had set his heart on seeking God.
Then Jehoshaphat appointed judges in the fortified cities of Judah to judge carefully without injustice, partiality or bribery. In Jerusalem he appointed Levites, priests and heads of families to also judge faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord. He also appointed chief priest Amariah to rule in all cases concerning the Lord and Zebadiah to be over any matter concerning the king.
