Joe Rogan: Alright! Welcome back, Bible Expert! We are about to dive into 2 Chronicles 19. What can you tell me about this chapter?

Bible Expert: This chapter is all about Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah. He has just taken over the kingdom and is eager to put his own stamp on things. He immediately sets out to strengthen the kingdom both spiritually and politically.

Joe Rogan: That's awesome! So, what does he do first?

Bible Expert: He orders the Levitical priests to teach the people the laws of God and to live according to them. He also sends out an edict throughout the kingdom encouraging the people to stay loyal to God.

Bible Expert: He appoints a number of judges throughout the land to ensure that justice is served. He also sets up a system of rewards for those who obey the laws and punishments for those who don't.

Joe Rogan: That sounds like a great way to ensure that people are following the law. Anything else?
