THE MESSAGE
But Jehoshaphat king of Judah got home safe and sound. Jehu, son of Hanani the seer, confronted King Jehoshaphat: "You have no business helping evil, cozying up to God -haters. Because you did this, God is good and angry with you. But you're not all bad—you made a clean sweep of the polluting sex-and-religion shrines; and you were single-minded in seeking God."

Contextual Overview
1 King Jehoshaphat of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem. 2 A prophet, Jehu son of Hanani, went to meet the king and said to him, "Do you think it is right to help those who are wicked and to take the side of those who hate the Lord ? What you have done has brought the Lord 's anger on you. 3 But even so, there is some good in you. You have removed all the symbols of the goddess Asherah which people worshiped, and you have tried to follow God's will." 4 Even though King Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, he traveled regularly among the people, from Beersheba in the south to the edge of the hill country of Ephraim in the north, in order to call the people back to the Lord , the God of their ancestors.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned,.... From Ramothgilead, after Ahab was slain:
to his house in peace in Jerusalem; to his palace there in safety, having narrowly escaped losing his life in the battle.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jehoshaphat ... returned to his house in peace - With the battle of Ramoth-Gilead, and the death of Ahab, the war came to an end. The combined attack of the two kings having failed, their troops had been withdrawn, and the enterprise in which they had joined relinquished. The Syrians, satisfied with their victory, did not press on the retreating foe, or carry the war into their enemies’ country.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIX
Jehoshaphat, on his return from Ramoth-gilead, is met by the
prophet Jehu, and reproved, 1-3.
He makes a farther reformation in the land, establishing courts
of justice, and giving solemn and pertinent directions to the
judges, Levites, &c., to do judgement and justice among the
people, in the fear of God, 4-11.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIX
Verse 2 Chronicles 19:1. Returned to his house in peace — That is, in safety, notwithstanding he had been exposed to a danger so imminent, from which only the especial mercy of God could have saved him.
