1 Kings 3:2 in Context — 1 Kings 3

1 E Salomão fez parentesco com Faraó, rei do Egito, porque se casou com a filha de Faraó, e a trouxe à cidade de Davi, até que acabasse de edificar a sua própria casa, e a casa do SENHOR, e os muros de Jerusalém em redor.

2 Todavia o povo sacrificava nos altares dos lugares altos, porque não havia casa edificada ao nome do SENHOR até aqueles tempos.

3 Mas Salomão amava ao SENHOR, andando nos estatutos de seu pai Davi, exceto que sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altares dos lugares altos.

4 E o rei foi a Gibeão, porque aquele era o principal lugar alto, e Salomão sacrificou ali mil holocaustos sobre aquele altar.
