John Gill Commentary 2 Chronicles 1:5

"Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah: and Solomon and the assembly sought unto it." — 2 Chronicles 1:5 (ASV)

Moreover, the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the
son of Hur, had made

he put before the tabernacle of the congregation ;
either David, or rather Solomon; though it seems best to read the words as in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, "and there it was before the tabernacle"; for it was always there:

and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it ;
to sacrifice unto it; or rather sought "unto him", the Lord, before whose tabernacle the altar was, so Gussetins ^F1 .
