Text: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13
OT Text Referred to: 1 Kings 3:1-15
Subject: Revelation to Solomon at Gibeon
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: These are parallel accounts of God's theophany to Solomon at Gibeon, where the LORD offered "Ask what I shall give you" and Solomon requested wisdom (chokmah) rather than riches or long life. The Chronicler's version emphasizes the Mosaic tabernacle's presence at Gibeon and Solomon's approach to the bronze altar, details that connect Solomon's worship to Mosaic precedent. Both accounts record God's pleased response and the grant of unasked-for wealth and honor, but the Chronicler omits 1 Kings 3's conditional "if you walk in My ways" clause, presenting the gift as unconditional grace for the temple-building king.

Subject: Solomon's dream at Gibeon — parallel account

Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: These are parallel accounts of God's appearance to Solomon at Gibeon, where Solomon asks for wisdom (חָכְמָה, chokhmah) rather than wealth or long life. Both record God's pleasure at this request and His granting of both wisdom and unasked-for riches and honor. The Chronicler condenses the dream dialogue and omits the qualifying note about high places (1 Kgs 3:2-3), but adds the detail that Solomon went to Gibeon specifically because "the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness, was there" (2 Chr 1:3). This addition legitimizes Solomon's worship at Gibeon by anchoring it in Mosaic authority.

Significance: Both texts introduce Solomon's reign with his worship at the high place of Gibeon, but with different framing. In 1 Kings 3:1, the narrator notes Solomon's marriage alliance with Pharaoh before the Gibeon episode, adding a qualifying note: "Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, only he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places." The Chronicler in 2 Chronicles 1:1 opens instead with "Solomon son of David established himself firmly over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and made him exceedingly great" — omitting the high-places qualification entirely and presenting Solomon's Gibeon worship positively, since the tabernacle of meeting was legitimately there.
