2 Chronicles 1:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 1:2

Then Solomon spake unto all Israel
To their representatives about going to Gibeon to sacrifice, as the next words show: so Jarchi and Kimchi observe:

to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, to the judges, and to
every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers;
whom he had convened on this occasion; though some think this is the same congregation gathered by his father, by whom he was anointed and made king, and that he spoke of this to them before they broke up, ( 1 Chronicles 28:1 ) ( 29:22 ) which seems not so probable, since it was after the death of his father, after he had been king some time, and even after his marriage with Pharaoh's daughter, that what follows was done, see ( 1 Kings 3:1-4 ) .

2 Chronicles 1:2 In-Context

1 Solomon, son of David, strengthened his position over the kingdom. The LORD his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel--to the commanders of regiments and battalions, judges, every prince, and the heads of Israel's families.
3 Then Solomon and the entire assembly went to the place of worship in Gibeon because God's tent of meeting was there. Moses, the LORD's servant, had made the tent in the desert.
4 (However, David had [already] brought God's ark from Kiriath Jearim to a place he had prepared for it. He had put up a tent for it in Jerusalem.)
5 The bronze altar that Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was in front of the LORD's tent. There Solomon and the assembly worshiped the LORD.
