1. Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.
2. Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
3. So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the Lord’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness.
4. But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5. Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the Lord’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
6. Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
