2 Chronicles 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 1:3

So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high
place that was at Gibeon
They agreed to his motion, and went with him thither, see ( 1 Kings 3:4 )

for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses
the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness:
by the Lord's direction; where was also the altar of the Lord, and so most proper to offer sacrifice on, which was what Solomon went thither to do; see ( 1 Chronicles 21:29 ) .
