2 Chronicles 1:2-6
The narrative here corresponds with I Kings 3:4; but is very much fuller. We learn from the present passage:
(1) that Solomon' s sacrifice at Gibeon was a great public festivity, to which he collected vast numbers of the people;
(2) that it was made upon the brass altar of Bezaleel, which
(3) stood before the tabernacle; and
(4) that Solomon' s vision was on the night of his sacrifice. Consult the marginal references
II Chronicles 1:5
Sought unto it - i. e., "frequented it" - "were in the habit of making use of it."
