And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

Bible Commentary

The Lord appeared to Solomon - This was a second manifestation; see 1 Kings 9:2-9; (note), and the notes there. The Targum says, "The Word of the Lord appeared to Solomon."

Notes on the Whole Bible

An house of sacrifice - This expression does not elsewhere occur. Its meaning, however, is clear. God declares that Solomon‘s Temple is the place whereunto all Israelites were commanded to bring their burnt-offerings and sacrifices (see Deuteronomy 12:5-6).
