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, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not requested riches, wealth, or glory, or for the life of those who hate you, and you have not even requested long life, but you have requested for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king,

12 wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you riches, wealth, and glory, such that it was not like this for the kings who were before you, nor will it be like this for those after you."

13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place that was in Gibeon in front of the tent of meeting, and he reigned over Israel.

14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as abundant as sycamore in the Judean foothills.
