Context of 2 Chronicles 1:4
2Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 3So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of Yhwh had made in the wilderness. But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath–jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of Yhwh: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 6And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before Yhwh, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
