1 Kings 8:63-66
63And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the Lord, twenty-two thousand 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 courtyard that was in front of the house of the Lord, because there he 2offered the burnt offering, 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, the grain offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65So 4Solomon held the 5feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly 6from the entrance of Hamath 7to the brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, for seven days and seven more days, that is, fourteen days. 66On the eighth day he dismissed the people, and they blessed the king. Then they went to their tents joyful and with happy hearts for all the goodness that the Lord had 8shown to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
