Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, etc.] To their representatives about going to Gibeon to sacrifice, as the next words show: so Jarchi and Kimchi observe: to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers; whom he had convened on this occasion; though some think this is the same congregation gathered by his father, by whom he was anointed and made king, and that he spoke of this to them before they broke up, (<132801>1 Chronicles 28:1 29:22) which seems not so probable, since it was after the death of his father, after he had been king some time, and even after his marriage with Pharaoh’s daughter, that what follows was done, (see <110301>1 Kings 3:1-4).
