1 Kings 8:62-66

Solomon’s Sacrifices

62 ^aThen ^bthe king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the Lord. 63 Solomon offered as peace offerings to the Lord 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. 64 The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, for there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat pieces of the peace offerings, because ^cthe bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to receive the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat pieces of the peace offerings.

65 So Solomon held ^dthe feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from ^eLebo-hamath to ^fthe Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days. ^{▼
