Context of 2 Chronicles 1:6

4But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5Now the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there. And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 7On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?” 8And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2-6Solomon’s journey to Gibeon, as reported in 1 Kings 3:4, is explained in more detail here. This important public event was closely linked to Solomon becoming king. Military commanders and clan leaders attended the event. It happened in Gibeon because the tabernacle and the great bronze altar, where sacrifices were often made, were located there.Read the comment
