King Solomon gave an order to all the officers in
charge of units of a thousand men and of a
hundred men, all the government officials, all the
heads of families, and all the rest of the people,
commanding them to go with him to the place of
worship at Gibeon.
They went there because that was where the
Tent of the Lord's presence was located, which
Moses, the Lord's servant, had made in the wilderness.
(The Covenant Box, however, was in Jerusalem, kept
in a tent which King David had set up when he brought
the Box from Kiriath Jearim.) The bronze altar which
had been made by Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson
of Hur, was also in Gibeon in front of the Tent of the
Lord's presence.
King Solomon and all the people worshiped the Lord there.
In front of the Tent the king worshiped the Lord by offering
sacrifices on the bronze altar; he had a thousand animals killed
and burned whole on it.
That night God appeared to Solomon and asked,
“What would you like me to give you?”
2 Chronicles 1:2-7 (GNT)
