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
Jehoshaphat’s appeal is threefold:
(1) to God omnipotent 2 Chronicles 20:6;
(2) to “our God;”
(3) the God especially “of this house” 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 Solomon’s 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.
