2 Chronicles 7:4–9

^4fThen the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. ⁵And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. ⁶And the priests waited on their ^goffices: ^hthe Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made ⁱto praise the Lord, ^ebecause his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised ^†by their ministry; and ^jthe priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. ⁷Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. ⁸Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto ^kthe river of Egypt. ⁹And in the eighth day they made ^†a solemn assembly: for ^lthey kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
