Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 20:5

5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD before the new court ,

Largely so called, i. e. in one of the Courts of the Temple, even in the Court of the People, and upon that Bra[illegible: 1+ letters]en Scaffold which Solomon had erected for such a Purpose, 2 Chron. 6. 13.

i. e. Besides and before the Priests Court: for there were but two Courts belonging to the Temple, as is noted 2 King. 21. 5. & 23. 12. And Jehoshaphat stood in the one, which must be that of the People; and before the other, which therefore can be no other than that of the Priests, which is called the New Court, because it [illegible: 1+ letters]ad been lately renewed when the Altar was renewed, ch. 15. 8. as the Command of Love is called a new Command, Joh. 13. 34. [illegible: 1 word] Ioh. 2. 8. because it was so solemnly renewed and revived and reinforced by Christ.
