1 Kings 8:62–66
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrificesi before the Lord. 63 Solomon offered a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to the Lord: twenty-two thousand cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the Israelites dedicatedj the temple of the Lord.
64 On that same day the king consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings and the fatk of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altarl that stood before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings.m
65 So Solomon observed the festivaln at that time, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamatho to the Wadi of Egypt.p They celebrated it before the Lord our God for seven days and seven days more, fourteen days in all. 66 On the following day he sent the people away. They blessed the king and then went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the goodq things the Lord had done for his servant David and his people Israel.
