Contextual Overview
1Solomon son of David took a firm grip on the reins of his kingdom. God was with him and gave him much help. Solomon addressed all Israel—the commanders and captains, the judges, every leader, and all the heads of families. Then Solomon and the entire company went to the worship center at Gibeon—that's where the Tent of Meeting of God was, the one that Moses the servant of God had made in the wilderness. The Chest of God, though, was in Jerusalem—David had brought it up from Kiriath Jearim, prepared a special place for it, and pitched a tent for it. But the Bronze Altar that Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon, in its place before the Tabernacle of God ; and that is where Solomon and the congregation gathered to pray. Solomon worshiped God at the Bronze Altar in front of the Tent of Meeting; he sacrificed a thousand Whole-Burnt-Offerings on it. 7 That night God appeared to Solomon. God said, "What do you want from me? Ask." 8Solomon answered, "You were extravagantly generous with David my father, and now you have made me king in his place. Establish, God , the words you spoke to my father, for you've given me a staggering task, ruling this mob of people. Yes, give me wisdom and knowledge as I come and go among this people—for who on his own is capable of leading these, your glorious people?" 11God answered Solomon, "This is what has come out of your heart: You didn't grasp for money, wealth, fame, and the doom of your enemies; you didn't even ask for a long life. You asked for wisdom and knowledge so you could govern well my people over whom I've made you king. Because of this, you get what you asked for—wisdom and knowledge. And I'm presenting you the rest as a bonus—money, wealth, and fame beyond anything the kings before or after you had or will have."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim,.... See 2 Samuel 6:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The narrative here corresponds with 1 Kings 3:4; but is very much fuller. We learn from the present passage:
(1) that Solomonâs sacrifice at Gibeon was a great public festivity, to which he collected vast numbers of the people;
(2) that it was made upon the brass altar of Bezaleel, which
(3) stood before the tabernacle; and
(4) that Solomonâs vision was on the night of his sacrifice. Consult the marginal references
2 Chronicles 1:5
Sought unto it - i. e., âfrequented itâ - âwere in the habit of making use of it.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 1:4. But the ark — The tabernacle and the brazen altar remained still at Gibeon; but David had brought away the ark out of the tabernacle, and placed it in a tent at Jerusalem; 2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Samuel 6:17.
