1 Reis 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 3:4

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there
About four or five miles from Jerusalem; (See Gill on 1 Kings 2:28);

for that [was] the great high place;
not that the place itself might be higher than others that were used; but here were the tabernacle of Moses, and the altar; so that it was a more dignified place, and more sacred because of them:

a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar;
the brazen altar of burnt offerings there; not at one time, but on several days successively; though Jarchi says on one day; and which was a prodigious number, never was known the like, unless at the dedication of the temple, ( 1 Kings 8:63 1 Kings 8:64 ) .

1 Reis 3:4 In-Context

2 Entretanto o povo oferecia sacrifícios sobre os altos, porque até aqueles dias ainda não se havia edificado casa ao nome do Senhor.
3 E Salomão amava ao Senhor, andando nos estatutos de Davi, seu pai; exceto que nos altos oferecia sacrifícios e queimava incenso.
4 Foi, pois, o rei a Gibeão para oferecer sacrifícios ali, porque aquele era o principal dentre os altos; mil holocaustos sacrificou Salomão naquele altar.
5 Em Gibeão apareceu o Senhor a Salomão de noite em sonhos, e disse-lhe: Pede o que queres que eu te dê.
6 Respondeu Salomão: De grande benevolência usaste para com teu servo Dai, meu pai, porquanto ele andou diante de ti em verdade, em justiça, e em retidão de coração para contigo; e guardaste-lhe esta grande benevolência, e lhe deste um filho, que se assentasse no seu trono, como se vê neste dia.
