2 Chronicles 20:5

stood Rather, rose up.

before the new court The Temple of Solomon seems to have differed in respect of its courts from the Second Temple; and it is difficult to tell of what court the Chronicler is thinking in this passage. The Heb. word for "court" here is ḥâçer, but in 2 Chronicles 4:9 (see note there) the "court (ḥâççr) of the priests" is distinguished from a court called the "great court" (Heb. "great Azârâh"). Perhaps the Chronicler means here "the ḥâççrof the priests" for Jehoshaphat stands not inbut beforeit. Solomon's great prayer was offered according to the Chronicler (2 Chronicles 6:13) in "the court" (Heb. Azârâh).
