Jehu Rebukes Jehoshaphat for the Alliance with Ahab

2 Chronicles 18:28-19:3
28The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 29The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Disguise yourself and come into the battle; but you, clothe yourself with your garments." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they came into the battle. 30The king of Aram commanded the commanders of the chariot that belonged to him, saying, "Do not fight with the small or with the great, except with the king of Israel alone." 31When the commanders of the chariot saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "He is the king of Israel," and they turned upon him to fight; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him, and God diverted them from him. 32When the commanders of the chariot saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from following him. 33A certain man drew the bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor; so he said to the charioteer, "Turn your hand and bring me out from the camp, for I am wounded." 34The battle rose that day, and the king of Israel was standing in the chariot before Aram until the evening; then he died at sunset.
Chapter 19
1Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 2Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should one help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, wrath is upon you from the LORD." 3Truly good words have been found with you, for you burned the Asherah from the land and prepared your heart to seek the God.
