1 Kings 3:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 Because there was not yet a temple where people could give honour to the Lord, they offered sacrifices at altars in other places.

3 Solomon loved the Lord and he obeyed the rules of his father David. But he offered sacrifices and he burned incense at altars in country places.[a] 4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices there.[b] That was the place where the most important altar was. Solomon offered burnt offerings a thousand times on the altar there.
