1 Kings 8:63-66

63Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the Lord, 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. 1So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. 64On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, because there he 2offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for 3the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings.

65So 4Solomon observed the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly 5from the entrance of Hamath 6to the brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, for seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days. 66On the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the king. Then they went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had 7shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.
