⁶²And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah; ⁶³and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah. ⁶⁴On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that is before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that is before Jehovah is too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings. ⁶⁵And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival—and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt—before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days. ⁶⁶On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
