2 Chronicles 7:8-10

8 At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

9 And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they had kept the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.

10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.
