2 Chronicles 7:4-11 - The Temple Dedication
4 And, the king and all the people, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh. 5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice - of oxen, twenty-two thousand, and of sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, - and so the king and all the people, dedicated the house of God; 6 while, the priests, over their charges, were standing, the Levites also, with the instruments for the songs of Yahweh, which David the king had made, for giving thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, when David offered praise by their means, - and, the priests, kept on blowing trumpets over against them, while, all Israel, were standing. 7 And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, for he offered there the ascending-sacrifices, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, - because, the altar of bronze which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering and the fat portions.
8 And Solomon made a festival - at that time - for seven days, and all Israel with him, an exceeding great convocation, - from the entering in of Hamath, unto the ravine of Egypt. 9 And they made, on the eighth day, a closing feast, - because, the dedication of the altar, they had kept seven days and a festival seven days. 10 And, on the twenty-third of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their own homes, - rejoicing and glad in heart, over the goodness which Yahweh had performed unto David and unto Solomon, and unto Israel his people.
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, - and, all that had come in upon the heart of Solomon, to do in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
