And, the king, and all Israel with him, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.

So Solomon offered as a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto Yahweh - Oxen, two and twenty thousand, and Sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, - Thus did, the king and all the sons of Israel, dedicate the house of Yahweh.

On that day, did the king hallow the middle of the court, that was before the house of Yahweh, - for he offered there the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, because, the altar of bronze that was before Yahweh, was too small to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings.

And Solomon made, at that time, a festival - and all Israel with him - a great convocation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the ravine of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days, and seven days, - fourteen days.

And on the eighth day, he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, - and departed to their homes, rejoicing and glad of heart, over all the goodness which Yahweh had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
