Context — Jehoshaphat Reproved by Jehu
1When Jehoshaphat king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,
2Jehu 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.
3However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on seeking God.” 4Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and once again he went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.Cross References

2 Chronicles 19:2 Summary
This verse is saying that King Jehoshaphat made a mistake by helping and loving people who were against God. The prophet Jehu told the king that this was wrong and that God was not happy with him because of it, as also seen in 2 Chronicles 18:1-3. We can learn from this that we should be careful about who we associate with and support, and make sure we are not helping or loving people who are against God, as warned in Psalm 1:1-6. By seeking God and following His commands, like loving our neighbors and enemies, as taught in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-36, we can avoid God's wrath and live a life that pleases Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Jehu son of Hanani the seer confront King Jehoshaphat?
Jehu confronted King Jehoshaphat because the king had formed an alliance with the wicked King Ahab of Israel, which was displeasing to God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 18:1-3, and this act of helping the wicked and loving those who hate the LORD was a reason for God's wrath upon him.
What does it mean to 'love those who hate the LORD' in this context?
Loving those who hate the LORD means to show affection, approval, or support to people who are against God, which is contrary to the teachings of Scripture, such as Psalm 139:21-22, where the psalmist asks God to examine his heart and lead him away from those who do evil.
Is it ever acceptable to help those who are wicked according to the Bible?
The Bible teaches that we should not help or support those who are wicked, as seen in 2 Chronicles 19:2, but rather we should love our neighbors and enemies, as taught in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-36, while also being discerning and not participating in their wicked deeds, as warned in 2 Corinthians 6:14-16.
How can we apply the message of 2 Chronicles 19:2 to our own lives?
We can apply this message by being mindful of the company we keep and the alliances we form, ensuring that they do not lead us away from God, as warned in 1 Corinthians 15:33, and instead, we should strive to surround ourselves with people who love and follow God, as encouraged in Hebrews 10:24-25.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be unknowingly helping or loving those who hate the LORD in my own life?
- How can I balance the command to love my enemies with the warning against helping the wicked?
- In what ways can I seek God and set my heart on Him, as King Jehoshaphat did, in order to avoid the wrath of the LORD?
- What are some 'Asherah poles' in my own life that I need to remove in order to seek God more fully, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 19:3?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 19:2
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer,.... The son of him that reproved Asa, for which he put him in prison, 2 Chronicles 17:7, but that did not deter this his son from reproving Jehoshaphat: went out
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 19:2
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:2
Jehu the son of Hanani the seer; of whom see . Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? was this agreeable to thy duty and love which thou professest to God and godliness, that thou hast entered into so strict an alliance and friendship with wicked Ahab, my sworn enemy, and given such assistance to him? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord; therefore God is angry with thee, and will chastise thee for this miscarriage: which he did, partly, by stirring up the Moabites and others to invade him, 2 Chronicles 20; partly, by permitting his eldest son Jehoram to kill all his brethren, ; and principally, by bringing that sore and almost general destruction upon his grandchildren by Jehu, 10:13,14, which was the proper fruit of his alliance with Ahab.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:2
2 Chronicles 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore [is] wrath upon thee from before the LORD.Ver. 2. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer.] Jehu delivered his message with better success than his father had done. Asa had gall in his ears, as some creatures are said to have; but good Jehoshaphat had aures purgatissimas, a "hearing ear," an "obedient ear," upon which "a wise reprover is as an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold." Shouldest thou help the ungodly,] i.e., That wicked wretch Ahab, of whom it might be said, as afterwards it was of the Jews in St Paul’ s time, that "they pleased not God, and were contrary to all men," or as the historian said of Commodus, the emperor, that he was called "the enemy of God and men." And love them that hate the Lord?] I think not. Idolaters are God-haters - whatever they pretend - and are therefore to be heartily "hated," provided that we hate non virum, sed vitium, not the man, but his manners. Therefore is wrath upon thee.] Thy late great danger was a fair warning, and must be kept in recent remembrance. The Moabites and the Ammonites, &c., are preparing against thee. The prophet also might have respect - as one hath well observed - to some dissension that began at present betwixt his sons; the seeds of that horrid slaughter Jehoram did afterwards make amongst them. Mr Jackson.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:2
(2) And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer.—The seer whose father had suffered for his reproof of Asa (2 Chronicles 16:7-10), and who had himself already witnessed against Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kings 16:1-7). To meet him.—Unto his presence (1 Chronicles 12:17; 2 Chronicles 15:2). King.—The king. The prophets never shrank from facing the highest representatives of earthly power (comp. 1 Kings 21:20). Shouldest thou help.—Literally, to help the ungodly. The infinitive (as in 1 Chronicles 5:1; 1 Chronicles 9:25), i.e., oughtest thou to help.The ungodly.—.The emphatic word. (See Psalms 139:21-22; Psalms 119:158 : “I beheld the transgressors with loathing.”) Them that hate the Lord.—And haters of Jehovah lovest thou? (The particle le prefixed to the word for “haters” is characteristic of the chronicler’s style.) Therefore is wrath upon thee.—See the same phrase, 1 Chronicles 27:24. In the case of David, the Divine wrath was embodied in pestilence; what form did it take with Jehoshaphat? The following chapters seem to supply the answer.
His land suffered invasion and his fleet shipwreck; his posterity was evil, and came to an evil end (2 Chronicles 20, 21, 22). There may be reference also to the failure of the campaign in which Jehoshaphat had engaged, and his inglorious return to his own land.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:2
Verse 2. Jehu the son of Hanani] We have met with this prophet before; 1Kg 16:7. Therefore is wrath upon thee] That is, Thou deservest to be punished. And who can doubt this, who knows that he did help the ungodly, and did love them that hated Jehovah? And is not the wrath of God upon all those alliances which his people form with the ungodly, whether they be social, matrimonial, commercial, or political?
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 19:2
2. Jehu the son of Hanani] He must have been an old man at this time for he had prophesied against Baasha (1 Kings 16:1), since whose time two kings had reigned in Israel, viz., Omri (12 years) and Ahab (22 years). the ungodly] R.V. the wicked. and love them that hate the Lord] Cp. Psalms 139:21-22. therefore is wrath upon thee] R.V. for this thing wrath is upon thee, i.e. a visitation of wrath is impending. The visitation is described in chap. 20. For “wrath” (Heb. qeçeph) cp. 2 Kings 3:27 R.V. mg.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 19:2
Jehu ... went out to meet him - Compare 2 Chronicles 15:2. The monarch was therefore rebuked at the earliest possible moment, and in the most effective way, as he was entering his capital at the head of his returning army.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 19:2
2. Jehu — This prophet had previously exercised his office in the kingdom of Israel, and had foretold the doom of Baasha. 1 Kings 16:1, note. Went out to meet him — As he was returning to his house from the war.
