2 Chronicles 7:1-10

11Now when Solomon had finished praying, 2fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house. 23And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s house. 3All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the Lord upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the Lord, saying, “4Certainly He is good, certainly His faithfulness is everlasting.”

45Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the Lord. 5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6The priests stood at their posts, and 6the Levites also, with the musical instruments for the Lord, which King David had made for giving praise to the Lord-for His faithfulness is everlasting”--whenever David gave praise through their 7ministry; 8the priests on the other side blew trumpets and all Israel was standing.

79Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that was before the house of the Lord, for he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the fat.

8So 10Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly that came from the entrance of Hamath to the 11brook of Egypt. 9And on the eighth day they held 12a solemn assembly, because they held the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days. 10Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy in heart because of the goodness that the Lord had shown to David, to Solomon, and to His people Israel.
