And Solomon went up thither, etc.] To the high place at Gibeon: to the brasen altar before the lord; where he used to be, and accept the sacrifices of his people, though the ark, the symbol of his presence, was not there: which was at the tabernacle of the congregation; that is, which altar was there; or rather “who”, that is, God, was there, as Osiander, hearing the prayers of his people, and accepting their offerings: and offered a thousand offerings upon it; by the priests, see (<110304>1 Kings 3:4).
