SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:25
Y ofrecía Salomón tres veces cada año holocaustos y pacíficos sobre el altar que él edificó al SEÑOR, y quemaba incienso sobre el que estaba delante del SEÑOR, después que la Casa fue acabada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 9:25
Verse 25. Three times in a year did Solomon offer] These three times were: 1. The passover. 2. The feast of pentecost. 3. The feast of tabernacles.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the Lord , etc.] The brasen altar, the altar of burnt offering, which stood in the court of the priests, and by whom he offered. The three times were the feasts of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles, as explained in ( 2 Chronicles 8:13), not that these were the only offerings, or these the only times he offered; for he offered all other sacrifices, and at all other times commanded in the law of Moses, as on sabbaths and new moons, as expressed in the above place: and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the Lord ; the altar of incense, which stood in the holy place, right beside the most holy, in which was the ark, the symbol of the divine Presence; not that Solomon burnt incense in person, but by the priests, whom he furnished with incense; for no king might offer incense, as the case of Uzziah shows: so he finished the house ; which respects not the building of it, that had been observed before, but the service of it; as he had provided all vessels and utensils for the furniture of it, and all things to be used in them; as sacrifices for the altar of burnt offering, incense for the altar of incense, bread for the shewbread table, and oil for the lamps; so he appointed the courses of the priests, Levites, and porters, to do their duty, who went through every part of service assigned them, and completed the whole; (see 2 Chronicles 8:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-28 - Here is a further account of Solomon's greatness. He began at the righ end, for he built God's house first, and finished that before he bega his own; then God blessed him, and he prospered in all his othe buildings. Let piety begin, and profit follow; leave pleasure to the last. Whatever pains we take for the glory of God, and to profi others, we are likely to have the advantage. Canaan, the holy land, the glory of all lands, had no gold in it; which shows that the bes produce is that which is for the present support of life, our own an others; such things did Canaan produce. Solomon got much by his merchandise, and yet has directed us to a better trade, within reach of the poorest. Wisdom is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold, Pr 3:14 __________________________________________________________________
