2Ch 1:6. To the brazen altar before the Lord — It is said to be before the Lord, though the ark was not there, because God was pleased graciously to accept the sacrifices offered before the place, though wanting the token of his glorious presence. And offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it — Namely, by the ministry of the priests, He probably offered as many peace- offerings, on which he and his company feasted before the Lord; unless, as Pellicanus thinks, burnt-offerings here signify peace-offerings, the general name being put for the special.

Which was at the tabernacle of the congregation.—Which altar belonged to the tent of tryst. In 1Ki_6:22 the golden altar is said in like manner to belong to the Holy of holies, before which it stood.

A thousand burnt offerings. The first instance of the burnt offering is Gen_8:20, and thereafter in the same book Gen_15:9, 17 22:2, 7, 13. It was manifestly the chiefest of the eucharistic kind of sacrifices, and for manifest reasons also was preceded by a "sin" offering (Exo_29:36-38; Lev_8:14, etc.) (For full details of the ceremonial, sac Lev 1:, Lev 6:, Lev 7:, Lev_7:8., passim) The extraordinary number of the burnt offerings on this and some similar occasions may well excite our wonder. (Num_7:3, 17 1Ki_8:64; 2Ch_4:1 compared with 2Ch_7:7. See also Herod., "Hist.," 7:43) The priests, of course, performed the sacrifices at the command of Solomon.
