Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, etc.] Or rather without the supplement, the words may be read as in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, Solomon came from the high places; having sacrificed there, so Vatablus; l being put for m, as R. Jonah observes f2; but the Targum agrees with us, he “came to the high place which is in Gibeon, and from thence to Jerusalem;” and to the same purpose Kimchi; having been there, he came to Jerusalem: from before the tabernacle of the congregation; which was at Gibeon, where he had been sacrificing: and reigned over Israel in great splendour and prosperity. From hence, to the end of the chapter, the same things are said as in (<111026>1 Kings 10:26-29)
