Solomon Worships at Gibeon

2 Chronicles 1

1 a Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, b and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.

2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the c commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. 3 And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to d the high place that was at Gibeon, e for f the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 g (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover, h the bronze altar that i Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly j sought it 1 out. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, k and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
