1 Kings 3:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² But the people sacrificed [to God] in the high places [as the heathen did to their idols], for there was no house yet built to the ^[a]Name of the Lord.

³ Solomon loved the Lord, walking [at first] in the statutes and practices of David his father, only he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

⁴ The king went to Gibeon [near Jerusalem, where stood the tabernacle and the bronze altar] to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. One thousand burnt offerings Solomon offered on that altar.
