Barnes's 2-chronicles 1:2 Bible Commentary
The narrative here corresponds with 1 Kings 3:4; but is very much fuller. We learn from the present passage:
(1) that Solomon's sacrifice at Gibeon was a great public festivity, to which he collected vast numbers of the people;
(2) that it was made upon the brass altar of Bezaleel, which
(3) stood before the tabernacle; and
(4) that Solomon's vision was on the night of his sacrifice. Consult the marginal references
Wesley's 2-chronicles 1:2 Bible Commentary
