Clarke's 2-chronicles 20:6 Bible Commentary
Jehoshaphat stood - What an instructive sight was this! The king who proclaimed the fast was foremost to observe it, and was on this occasion the priest of the people; offering in the congregation, without form or any premeditation, one of the most sensible, pious, correct, and as to its composition one of the most elegant prayers ever offered under the Old Testament dispensation.

(1) to God omnipotent 2 Chronicles 20:6;
(2) to "our God;"
(3) the God especially "of this house" the temple.
