2 Chronicles 7:1-3

1 Now when Shlomo had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

2 The Kohanim could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD's house.

3 All the children of Yisra'el looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, [saying], For he is good; for his lovingkindness endures for ever.
