Hanani, his father, was also a prophet who had previously rebuked King Asa of Judah (<a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7-10</a>). The role of a seer was to deliver God's messages, often involving correction or guidance. Jehu's confrontation with Jehoshaphat indicates the seriousness of the king's actions, as prophets were typically sent by God to address significant issues. This encounter underscores the importance of prophetic voices in maintaining the spiritual integrity of Israel and Judah.and said to King Jehoshaphat Jehoshaphat was the fourth king of the Kingdom of Judah, known for his initial faithfulness to God and efforts to rid the land of idolatry (<a href="/2_chronicles/17-3.htm">2 Chronicles 17:3-6</a>). However, his political alliances, particularly with the northern Kingdom of Israel, often led him into compromising situations. This address by Jehu highlights a moment of divine correction in Jehoshaphat's reign, emphasizing the king's responsibility to lead according to God's commandments.“Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? This rhetorical question points to Jehoshaphat's alliance with King Ahab of Israel, who was notoriously wicked and led Israel into idolatry (<a href="/1_kings/16-30.htm">1 Kings 16:30-33</a>). By aligning with Ahab, Jehoshaphat inadvertently supported those who opposed God's ways. The question challenges the king's discernment and priorities, reminding him of the biblical principle of not being unequally yoked with unbelievers (<a href="/2_corinthians/6-14.htm">2 Corinthians 6:14</a>). It serves as a warning against forming alliances that compromise one's commitment to God.Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you. The phrase indicates divine displeasure and impending judgment due to Jehoshaphat's actions. In the Old Testament, God's wrath often manifested as a response to covenant unfaithfulness, leading to consequences intended to bring about repentance and restoration. This warning reflects the seriousness of Jehoshaphat's misstep and serves as a call to return to faithful obedience. It also echoes the broader biblical theme of God's justice and mercy, where divine correction aims to realign His people with His will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jehu_son_of_hanani.htm">Jehu son of Hanani</a> A prophet or seer who confronts King Jehoshaphat.

For Hanani, the faithful father of a faithful son, see <a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7-10</a>, where we read that he "came to Asa King of Judah," etc. Also for Jehu, see <a href="/1_kings/16-1.htm">1 Kings 16:1-4</a>, where we read of his commission at the word of the Lord to rebuke Baasha the King of Israel, at a date upwards of thirty years before the present; and see <a href="/2_chronicles/20-34.htm">2 Chronicles 20:34</a>, which would lead us to infer, though not with certainty, that he outlived Jehoshaphat. The book called by his name, however, was not necessarily finished by him. It is evident that neither the word of the Lord nor the messengers and prophets of the Lord were bound by the orthodox limits of the divided kingdom. The powerful character and the moral force of the true prophet is again seen (comp. <a href="/2_chronicles/15-1.htm">2 Chronicles 15:1-8</a>) in the way in which he was wont to go out to meet the evil-doer, though he were a king. We are accustomed to set the whole of this down to the account of the special inspiration of the prophet of old; yet that was but typical of the intrinsic force that truth faithfully spoken should wield in its own right in later times. Religion is established in the nation and people that know and do this, by the accredited teachers of it, vie. the plain rebuke of the wrong. Shouldest thou... love them that hate the Lord? Strong suspicion must attend upon Jehoshaphat, that he had been not a little misled by answering to some personal fascination in Ahab. The prophet's rebuke is not that Jehoshaphat helped both Israel and therein Judah also against a common foe, but that he helped the ungodly, etc. Therefore wrath upon thee, etc. The significance of this sentence was probably not merely retrospective, glancing at the fact that Jehoshaphat returned to Jerusalem minus the victory for which he had bid, but was probably an intimation of troubles that should ripen, were already ripening for Jehoshaphat, in the coming invasion of his own kingdom (<a href="/2_chronicles/20-1.htm">2 Chronicles 20:1-3</a>). <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/19-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Then Jehu יֵה֣וּא (yê·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3058.htm">Strong's 3058: </a> Jehu -- 'the LORD is He', the name of several Israelites son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Hanani חֲנָ֘נִי֮ (ḥă·nā·nî) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2607.htm">Strong's 2607: </a> Hanani -- the name of several Israelites the seer הַחֹזֶה֒ (ha·ḥō·zeh) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2374.htm">Strong's 2374: </a> A beholder in vision, a compact went out וַיֵּצֵ֣א (way·yê·ṣê) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to confront פָּנָ֗יו (pā·nāw) Noun - common plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face him and said וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to King הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (ham·me·leḵ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king Jehoshaphat, יְהוֹשָׁפָ֔ט (yə·hō·wō·šā·p̄āṭ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3092.htm">Strong's 3092: </a> Jehoshaphat -- 'the LORD has judged', the name of a number of Israelites “Do you help לַעְזֹ֔ר (la‘·zōr) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5826.htm">Strong's 5826: </a> To surround, protect, aid the wicked הֲלָרָשָׁ֣ע (hă·lā·rā·šā‘) Preposition-l, Article | Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7563.htm">Strong's 7563: </a> Wrong, an, bad person and love תֶּאֱהָ֑ב (te·’ĕ·hāḇ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_157.htm">Strong's 157: </a> To have affection f those who hate וּלְשֹׂנְאֵ֥י (ū·lə·śō·nə·’ê) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8130.htm">Strong's 8130: </a> To hate the LORD?
