Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there,.... About four or five miles from Jerusalem; :-;
for that [was] the great high place; not that the place itself might be higher than others that were used; but here were the tabernacle of Moses, and the altar; so that it was a more dignified place, and more sacred because of them:
a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar; the brazen altar of burnt offerings there; not at one time, but on several days successively; though Jarchi says on one day; and which was a prodigious number, never was known the like, unless at the dedication of the temple, 1 Kings 8:63.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Gibeon - The transfer to Gibeon of the âtabernacle of the congregation,â and the brass âaltar of burnt offeringsâ made by Moses, which were removed there from Nob (compare 1 Samuel 21:6, with marginal references âi,â âkâ), had made it âthe great high-place,â more sacred, i. e., than any other in the holy land, unless it were Mount Zion where the ark had been conveyed by David. For the position of Gibeon, see Joshua 9:3 note.
A thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer - Solomon presented the victims. The priests were the actual sacrificers 1 Kings 8:5. A sacrifice of a thousand victims was an act of royal magnificence suited to the greatness of Solomon. So Xerxes offered 1,000 oxen at Troy. If the offerings in this case were âwhole burnt offerings,â and were all offered upon the altar of Moses, the sacrifice must have lasted several days.
