2 Chronicles 7:4–9

^4gThen the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. ⁵King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. ^6hAnd the priests attended to their services; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the Lord, which King David had made to praise the Lord, saying, “For His mercy endures forever,” whenever David offered praise by their ²ministry. ⁱThe priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel stood.

⁷Furthermore ^jSolomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.

^8kAt that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly ^lfrom the entrance of Hamath to ^mthe ³Brook of Egypt. ⁹And on the eighth day they held a ⁿsacred assembly, for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
