2 Chronicles 1:5-9
5But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before1 the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar at the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion2 to my father David, and You have made me king in his place. 9Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
