Dedicatory Sacrifices

62 1Now the king and all Israel with him 2offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, 22,000 * * oxen and 120,000 * * sheep. 3So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, because there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for 4the 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.
65 So 5Solomon observed the feast 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, even fourteen * days.
66 On 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 shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.
