1 Reyes 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 Reyes 3:4 In-Context

2 Hasta entonces el pueblo sacrificaba en los altos; porque a煤n no hab铆a casa edificada al nombre del SE脩OR hasta aquellos tiempos.
3 Mas Salom贸n am贸 al SE脩OR, andando en la instituci贸n de su padre David; solamente sacrificaba y quemaba perfumes en los altos.
4 E iba el rey a Gaba贸n, porque aqu茅l era el alto principal, y sacrificaba all铆, mil holocaustos sacrificaba Salom贸n sobre aquel altar.
5 Y se le apareci贸 el SE脩OR a Salom贸n en Gaba贸n una noche en sue帽os, y le dijo Dios: Pide lo que quisieres que yo te d茅.
6 Y Salom贸n dijo: T煤 hiciste gran misericordia a tu siervo David mi padre, seg煤n la manera que 茅l anduvo delante de ti con verdad, con justicia, y con rectitud de coraz贸n para contigo; y t煤 le has guardado 茅sta tu grande misericordia, que le diste hijo que se sentase en su trono, como sucede en este d铆a.
