1 Reyes 8:65 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:65

And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with
him
Partaking of the parts of the peace offerings which belonged to him, and were offered by way of thanksgiving on the occasion, together with whatsoever he might as a liberal prince provide for this entertainment:

for it was for a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath
unto the river of Egypt;
consisting of a number of people, gathered together from Hamath, which was on the northern border of the land of Israel, to the river of Egypt; either the Nile, or Rhinoculura, a branch of it, which lay on the southern border of the land: and this was kept

before the Lord;
as in his presence, with thankfulness to him, and with a view to his glory:

seven days and seven days, even fourteen days;
seven days for the dedication of the house, and seven days for the feast of tabernacles, as the Targum; which agrees with ( 2 Chronicles 7:9 ) , the feast of dedication was first, and began perhaps on the seventh day of the month, as the feast of tabernacles did on the fifteenth: within this time, namely, on the tenth, was a fast day, the day of atonement; which was either observed between the two feasts, or was omitted, which is not likely; or they did not eat and drink until the evening of that day. The Septuagint version, according to the Vatican copy, reads "seven days" only once; see ( 2 Chronicles 7:8 ) .

1 Reyes 8:65 In-Context

63 Salom贸n present贸 al Se帽or
una ofrenda de paz de veintid贸s mil cabezas de ganado y ciento veinte mil ovejas y cabras. As铆 el rey y todo el pueblo de Israel dedicaron el templo del Se帽or
.
64 Ese mismo d铆a, el rey consagr贸 la parte central del atrio que est谩 delante del templo del Se帽or
. All铆 present贸 las ofrendas quemadas, las ofrendas de grano y la grasa de las ofrendas de paz, porque el altar de bronce que est谩 en la presencia del Se帽or
era demasiado peque帽o para tantas ofrendas quemadas, ofrendas de grano y la grasa de las ofrendas de paz.
65 Entonces Salom贸n y todo Israel celebraron el Festival de las Enramadas
en presencia del Se帽or
nuestro Dios. Se hab铆a reunido una gran multitud desde lugares tan lejanos como Lebo-hamat, en el norte, y el arroyo de Egipto, en el sur. La celebraci贸n continu贸 catorce d铆as en total: siete d铆as para la dedicaci贸n del altar y siete d铆as para el Festival de las Enramadas.
66 Una vez terminado el festival,
Salom贸n despidi贸 al pueblo. Ellos bendijeron al rey y regresaron a sus casas llenos de alegr铆a y muy contentos, porque el Se帽or
hab铆a sido bueno con su siervo David y con su pueblo Israel.
