2 Chronicles 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 1:13

Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was
at Gibeon
Or rather without the supplement, the words may be read as in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions,

Solomon came from the high places;
having sacrificed there, so Vatablus; (l) being put for (m) , as R. Jonah observes ^F2; but the Targum agrees with us, he

``came to the high place which is in Gibeon, and from thence to Jerusalem;''

and to the same purpose Kimchi; having been there, he came to Jerusalem:

from before the tabernacle of the congregation;
which was at Gibeon, where he had been sacrificing:

and reigned over Israel
in great splendour and prosperity. From hence, to the end of the chapter, the same things are said as in ( 1 Kings 10:26-29 ) . (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:26) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:27) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:28) (See Gill on 1 Kings 10:29)

2 Chronicles 1:13 In-Context

11 And God said to Solomon, "Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked for long life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people over whom I have made thee king,

12 wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like."

13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he placed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the vale.
