Contextual Overview

13 And Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. 14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand, four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 And the king made the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and he made the cedars as sycamores that are in the low country for abundance. 16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and out of Kue, the king's merchants took them from Kue at a price; 17 and they came up and brought out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silver pieces, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their hand.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon,.... 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; ืœ being put for ืž, as R. Jonah observes b; 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

1 Kings 10:26.

1 Kings 10:26- : 1 Kings 10:26- : 1 Kings 10:26- : 1 Kings 10:26- :

b Apud Kimchium. in loc.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

From his journey - These words are not in the original text, which is thought to be corrupt. It is best to correct the text, and then simply to translate: โ€œAnd Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem.โ€
