1 Kings 8:62-66

62Then the kingH4428 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 63And SolomonH8010 offered asH2076 peace offeringsH2077H8002 to the LORDH3068 22,000H6242H8147H505 oxenH1241 and 120,000H3967H6242H505 sheepH6629. So the kingH4428 and allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

64On that sameH1931 dayH3117 the kingH4428 consecratedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtyardH2691 in frontH6440 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, andH3588 thereH8033 he offeredH6213 the burnt offeringsH5930, the grain offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, sinceH3588 the bronzeH5178 altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 was too smallH6996 to containH3557 all these offerings.

65So at thatH1931 timeH6256 SolomonH8010 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973—a greatH1419 assembly of peopleH6951 from Lebo-hamathH935H2574 toH5704 the BrookH5158 of EgyptH4714—keptH6213 the feastH2282 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 more daysH3117—fourteenH702H6240 days in allH3117.

66On theH8066 fifteenth dayH31171 Solomon sent the peopleH5971 awayH7971. So they blessedH1288 the kingH4428 and wentH1980 homeH168, joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 in heartH3820 forH5921 allH3605 the good thingsH2896 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 for His servantH5650 DavidH1732 and for His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
