2 Chronicles 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 1:13

Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was
at Gibeon
Or rather without the supplement, the words may be read as in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions,

Solomon came from the high places;
having sacrificed there, so Vatablus; (l) being put for (m) , as R. Jonah observes ^F2; but the Targum agrees with us, he

``came to the high place which is in Gibeon, and from thence to Jerusalem;''

and to the same purpose Kimchi; having been there, he came to Jerusalem:

from before the tabernacle of the congregation;
which was at Gibeon, where he had been sacrificing:

and reigned over Israel
in great splendour and prosperity. From hence, to the end of the chapter, the same things are said as in ( 1 Kings 10:26-29 ) . (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:26) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:27) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:28) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:29)

2 Chronicles 1:13 In-Context

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king,

12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

13 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.

14 Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.

15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills.
