Theological / Devotional

Offered burnt offerings. There is no reason to suppose that Solomon personally acted as priest in offering burnt offerings to the Lord (see on 1 Kings 9:25). The king evidently went no further than any of the common people and permitted the priests to perform such functions as were exclusively theirs according to law (Lev. 1:7, 8, 11; Lev. 2:2, 9, 16; Lev. 3:11, 16; Num. 16:1–7, 17–40).
