2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 1:3–6

³And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

⁴Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem. ⁵But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before^a the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.

⁶Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar at the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
