The discussion at WP:Fringe theories noticeboard (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard&oldid=1128834749#The_miracle_in_Joshua_10:12%E2%80%9313_as_a_solar_eclipse_in_1207_BC) seems to have concluded that this is a borderline fringe theory. Without evidence that it has wider support, I think it should be removed. |

{{bibleverse|1|Chronicles|16:39|HE}} suggests that worship before the tabernacle at Gibeon continued alongside worship in [[Jerusalem]] after David brought the [[Ark of the Covenant]] back there, although "nothing ... is said of this in the Books of Samuel".<ref>Barnes, W. E. (1899), [https://biblehub.com/commentaries/cambridge/1_chronicles/13.htm Cambridge Bible for Schools on 1 Chronicles 13], accessed 22 February 2020</ref> Theologian Hans-Peter Mathys notes that "no other OT book mentions a regular (sacrificial) cult in Gibeon. Its historical authenticity is sometimes supported by the argument that {{bibleverse|1|Kings|3:3|HE}} (''[[Solomon]] ... went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar'') confirms its existence and speaks out against it. It is more likely, however, that these four verses were conceived by the Chronicler, [who] ... is at pains to portray an uninterrupted and legitimate (sacrificial) cult spanning the entire period from the desert era (with its tabernacle), including the LORD's residence at Gibeon, right up to Solomon's establishment of the [[Temple of Solomon|temple]] in Jerusalem."<ref>Mathys, H. P., ''1 and 2 Chronicles'' in Barton, J. and Muddiman, J. (2001), [https://b-ok.org/dl/946961/8f5f43 The Oxford Bible Commentary] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171122193211/http://b-ok.org/dl/946961/8f5f43 |date=2017-11-22 }}, p. 277</ref>
