2 Chronicles 7:4-10
4Then the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 5And KingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of 22,000H6242H8147H505 oxenH1241 and 120,000H3967H6242H505 sheepH6629. So the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
6The priestsH3548 stoodH5975 atH5921 their postsH4931, as did the LevitesH3881 with the musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 KingH4428 DavidH1732 had madeH6213 for giving thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068 and with which DavidH1732 had offered praise, sayingH1984, “ForH3588 His loving devotionH2617 endures foreverH5769.” Across from the LevitesH5048, the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690, and allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 were standingH5975.
7Then SolomonH8010 consecratedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtyardH2691 in frontH6440 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, andH3588 thereH8033 he offeredH6213 the burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, sinceH3588 the bronzeH5178 altarH4196 he had madeH6213 couldH3201 notH3808 holdH3557 all these offerings.
8So at thatH1931 timeH6256 SolomonH8010 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973—a veryH3966 greatH1419 assembly of peopleH6951 from Lebo-hamathH935H2574 toH5704 the BrookH5158 of EgyptH4714—keptH6213 the feastH22821 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 9On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they heldH6213 a solemn assemblyH6116, forH3588 the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196H6213 had lasted sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days moreH3117.
10On the twenty-thirdH6242H7969 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, Solomon sent the peopleH5971 awayH7971 to their homesH168, joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 of heartH3820 forH5921 the good thingsH2896 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 for DavidH1732, for SolomonH8010, and for His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
