Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:3

Theological / Devotional

Gibeon. A town 6 mi. (9.6 km.) northwest of Jerusalem. The earlier inhabitants worshiped at high places, and at times this term is employed for centers of the worship of God. According to 1 Kings 3:4 Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifice to God.

The tabernacle. Nearly 480 years (see 1 Kings 6:1) had passed since Moses, on the occasion of the Exodus from Egypt, constructed the wilderness tabernacle. This ancient and sacred structure, which had meant so much in the history of Israel, was still the center of worship for the people of God. It had been erected to serve as a place where God promised to meet with His people (Ex. 25:8, 22; Num. 17:4), and here they continued to come that they might draw close to the presence of the Lord.
