THE MESSAGE
Then the king and all Israel worshiped, offering sacrifices to God . King Solomon worshiped by sacrificing 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep at the dedication of The Temple. The priests were all on duty; the choir and orchestra of Levites that David had provided for singing and playing anthems to the praise and love of God were all there; across the courtyard the priests blew trumpets. All Israelites were on their feet.

Contextual Overview
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the Lord 's splendor filled the temple. 2 The priests were unable to enter the Lord 's temple because the Lord 's splendor filled the Lord 's temple. 3 When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the Lord 's splendor over the temple, they got on their knees with their faces downward toward the pavement. They worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord , saying, "Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!" 4 The king and all the people were presenting sacrifices to the Lord . 5 King Solomon sacrificed 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep. Then the king and all the people dedicated God's temple. 6 The priests stood in their assigned spots, along with the Levites who had the musical instruments used for praising the Lord . (These were the ones King David made for giving thanks to the Lord and which were used by David when he offered praise, saying, "Certainly his loyal love endures.") Opposite the Levites, the priests were blowing the trumpets, while all Israel stood there. 7 Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that is in front of the Lord 's temple. He offered burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat from the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was too small to hold all these offerings. 8 At that time Solomon and all Israel with him celebrated a festival for seven days. This great assembly included people from Lebo Hamath in the north to the Stream of Egypt in the south. 9 On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had dedicated the altar for seven days and celebrated the festival for seven more days. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people home. They left happy and contented because of the good the Lord had done for David, Solomon, and his people Israel.
