And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying,

And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
