4 And he dwelt Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem. And he returned and he went out among the people from Beer Sheba to [the] hill country of Ephraim and he turned back them to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.

Also in Jerusalem Josaphat ordeynede dekenes, and preestis, and the princes of meynees of Israel, that thei schulden deme the doom and cause of the Lord to the dwellers of it.
