2 Chronicles 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 8:12

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 ) .

2 Chronicles 8:12 In-Context

10 King Solomon appointed 250 of them to supervise the people.
11 Solomon moved his wife, Pharaoh’s daughter, from the City of David to the new palace he had built for her. He said, “My wife must not live in King David’s palace, for the Ark of the LORD has been there, and it is holy ground.”
12 Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar he had built for him in front of the entry room of the Temple.
13 He offered the sacrifices for the Sabbaths, the new moon festivals, and the three annual festivals—the Passover celebration, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival of Shelters—as Moses had commanded.
14 In assigning the priests to their duties, Solomon followed the regulations of his father, David. He also assigned the Levites to lead the people in praise and to assist the priests in their daily duties. And he assigned the gatekeepers to their gates by their divisions, following the commands of David, the man of God.
