Contextual Overview
1 Solomon the son of David became a strong king. The Lord his God was with him, and gave him much honor. 2 Solomon spoke to all Israel. He spoke to the leaders of thousands and of hundreds. He spoke to the men who judge and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. 3 Then Solomon and all the people with him went to a place of worship at Gibeon where God's meeting tent was. It was the tent which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the desert. 4 (But David had brought up the special box of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had made ready for it. For he had set up a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Now the brass altar was there in front of the meeting tent of the Lord. It was the altar which was made by Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur. Solomon and the people worshiped the Lord there. 6 Solomon went before the Lord to the brass altar at the meeting tent. And he gave a thousand burnt gifts on it. 7 That night God showed Himself to Solomon and said to him, "Ask Me for anything and I will give it to you." 8 Solomon said to God, "You have acted toward my father David with great loving-kindness. And You have made me king in his place. 9 Now, O Lord God, Your promise to my father David has come true. For You have made me king over as many people as the dust of the earth. 10 Now give me wisdom and much understanding, that I may lead these people. For who can rule this great nation of Yours?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, the brasen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made,.... According to the pattern given by Moses, at the direction of God, Exodus 38:1,
he put before the tabernacle of the congregation; either David, or rather Solomon; though it seems best to read the words as in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, "and there it was before the tabernacle"; for it was always there:
and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it; to sacrifice unto it; or rather sought "unto him", the Lord, before whose tabernacle the altar was, so Gussetins a.
a Comment. Ebr. p. 197.
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 Solomon’s 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 Solomon’s vision was on the night of his sacrifice. Consult the marginal references
