2 Chronicles 20:5

3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to ^aseek the Lord, and ^bproclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

4 So Judah gathered together to ask ^ahelp from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,

6 and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not ^aGod in heaven, and ^bdo You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and ^cin Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?

7 Are You not ^aour God, who ^bdrove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham ^cYour friend forever?

8 And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,

9 ^a‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your ^bname is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’

The house - Largely so called, in the court of the people, upon that brazen scaffold which Solomon had erected. New court - Before the priests court: which is called the new court, because it had lately been renewed when the altar was renewed.
