Contextual Overview

12Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh which he had built before the porch; 13and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths. 14And according to the judgment of his father David, he caused the divisions of the priests to stand for their service, and the Levites for their responsibilities to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for David the man of God had so commanded. 15And they did not turn away from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any manner or concerning the treasuries. 16Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was completed. So the house of Yahweh was finished. 17Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the shore of the sea in the land of Edom. 18And Huram by the hand of his servants sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and took from there 450 talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord,.... Meaning not barely at the time he rebuilt the above cities, for it was his constant practice:

on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch; the brasen altar, which was at the entrance into the temple, within the court; of which see 2 Chronicles 4:1.
