How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on 2 Chronicles 20, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“In all dangers, public or personal, our first business should be to seek help from God. Hence the advantage of days for national fasting and prayer. From the first to the last of our seeking the Lord, we must approach him with humiliation for our sins, trusting only in his mercy and power. Jehoshaphat acknowledges the sovereign dominion of the Divine Providence. Lord, exert it on our behalf. Whom should we seek to, whom should we trust to for relief, but the God we have chosen and served. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Chronicles 20:1–13 (Public Domain)
