Compare all

3 Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to¹ the high place that was at ^aGibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the Lord had ^bmade in the wilderness.

4 ^aBut David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

5 Now ^athe bronze altar that ^bBezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there.

6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and ^aoffered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

7 ^aOn that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

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

Sought unto it - i. e., "frequented it" - "were in the habit of making use of it."
