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 Y ofreci贸 Salom贸n sacrificios pac铆ficos, los cuales sacrific贸 al SE脩OR, que fueron veintid贸s mil bueyes, y ciento veinte mil ovejas. As铆 dedicaron el rey y todos los hijos de Israel la Casa del SE脩OR.
64 Aquel mismo d铆a santific贸 el rey el medio del atrio que estaba delante de la Casa del SE脩OR: porque ofreci贸 all铆 los holocaustos, y los presentes, y los sebos de los pac铆ficos; por cuanto el altar de bronce que estaba delante del SE脩OR era peque帽o, y no cab铆an en 茅l los holocaustos, y los presentes, y los sebos de los pac铆ficos.
65 En aquel tiempo Salom贸n hizo fiesta, y con 茅l todo Israel, una gran congregaci贸n, desde donde entran en Hamat hasta el r铆o de Egipto, delante del SE脩OR nuestro Dios, por siete d铆as y otros siete d铆as, esto es, por catorce d铆as.
66 Y el octavo d铆a despidi贸 al pueblo; y ellos bendiciendo al rey, se fueron a sus estancias alegres y gozosos de coraz贸n por todos los beneficios que el SE脩OR hab铆a hecho a David su siervo, y a su pueblo Israel.
