Contextual Overview
1After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to fight against Jehoshaphat. 1 It happened after this, that the children of Mo'av, and the children of `Ammon, and with them some of the Me`unim, came against Yehoshafat to battle. 1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 1 After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle. 1 Later the Moabites, Ammonites, and some Meunites came to start a war with Jehoshaphat. 1 Later the Moabites and Ammonites, along with some of the Meunites, attacked Jehoshaphat. 1Now it happened after this that the Moabites and the Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat. 1 Now it came about after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat. 1 It happened after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, & with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they dwelt therein,.... From ages past, hitherto, since it was first given them, and they were put into the possession of it:
and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name; a temple for his worship, honour, and glory, and for him to dwell in; and is a reason why it might be hoped he would protect them, especially when they prayed to him:
saying; and he promised to hear and help them, as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jehoshaphatâs appeal is threefold:
(1) to God omnipotent 2 Chronicles 20:6;
(2) to âour God;â
(3) the God especially âof this houseâ the temple.
2 Chronicles 20:7
Abraham thy friend - Historically, this is the first use of this remarkable expression, afterward repeated (marginal references). The ground of the expression is to be found principally in Genesis 18:23-33, where Abraham spoke with God as a man with his friend (compare Exodus 33:11).
2 Chronicles 20:8, 2 Chronicles 20:9
The appeal recalls Solomonâs prayer (marginal references), which God had formally accepted by sending down fire from heaven to consume the accompanying offering.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 20:8. Therein for thy name — "For the name of thy WORD." - Targum.
