Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:6

Theological / Devotional

Before the Lord. The tabernacle built by Moses was God’s sanctuary or dwelling place (Ex. 25:8). The altar stood before the entrance to the tabernacle (Ex. 40:6), and was thus regarded as standing before the Lord (see Judges 20:23, 26).

Burnt offerings. Compare 1 Kings 3:4.
