| II Chronicles 20:5
| And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before the new court.
| New court of the priests. Why it is so called, does not appear. (Calmet) --- Some understand the court for the women; (Salien) others, that for Gentiles. (Le Clerc) --- Probably some of the courts had been found too spacious after the schism, and had been neglected; but now, as many had returned to serve the Lord in the dominions of Josaphat, he had made some repairs. (Tirinus)
