Gill's Notes on the Bible
If when evil cometh upon us,.... Any calamity,
as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, God's four sore judgments, if by "judgment" is meant wild beasts:
we stand before this house; in the court before the holy place, and holy of holies:
and in thy presence, for thy name is in this house; called upon in it, and it was called by his name, and in which he dwelt:
and cry unto thee in our affliction; as Solomon prayed at the dedication of it:
then thou wilt hear and help; as the Lord promised, see 1 Kings 8:33.
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 20:9. For thy name is in this house — "Thy Majesty is in this house." Several of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., with the Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic, add × ×§×¨× nikra, "is invoked;" Thy name is invoked in this house - here thou dwellest, and here thou art worshipped.
