Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And Solomon went up thither,.... To the high place at Gibeon: to the brasen altar before the lord; where he used to be, and accept the sacrifices of his people, though the ark, the symbol of his presence, was not there: which was at the tabernacle of the congregation; that is, which altar was there; or rather "who", that is, God, was there, as Osiander, hearing the prayers of his people, and accepting their offerings: and offered a thousand offerings upon it; by the priests, see 1Ki 3:4.
