The priests could not enter into the house of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD'S house.
3
All 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, "Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting."
4
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the LORD .
5
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6
The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the instruments of music to the LORD , which King David had made for giving praise to the LORD -"for His lovingkindness is everlasting "-whenever he gave praise by their means, while the priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.
