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 Shlomo the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

2 Shlomo spoke to all Yisra'el, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Yisra'el, the heads of the fathers' [houses].

3 So Shlomo, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Giv`on; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moshe the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiryat-Ye`arim to [the place] that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Yerushalayim.

5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Betzal'el the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tent of the LORD: and Shlomo and the assembly sought to it.
