1 Kings 3:2 in Context — 1 Kings 3
1 Salomon s’allia par mariage avec Pharaon, roi d’Égypte. Il prit pour femme la fille de Pharaon, et il l’amena dans la ville de David, jusqu’à ce qu’il eût achevé de bâtir sa maison, la maison de l’Éternel, et le mur d’enceinte de Jérusalem.
2 Le peuple ne sacrifiait que sur les hauts lieux, car jusqu’à cette époque il n’avait point été bâti de maison au nom de l’Éternel.
3 Salomon aimait l’Éternel, et suivait les coutumes de David, son père. Seulement c’était sur les hauts lieux qu’il offrait des sacrifices et des parfums.
4 Le roi se rendit à Gabaon pour y sacrifier, car c’était le principal des hauts lieux. Salomon offrit mille holocaustes sur l’autel.
