'Assembly' in the Bible
Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
Then Solomon stood [in the courtyard] before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.
And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
So at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath [on the northern border of Israel] to the Brook of Egypt [at Israel’s southern border], before the Lord our God, for seven days and seven more days [beyond the prescribed period for the Feast of Booths], fourteen days in all.
So they sent word and called for him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
It came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent word and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. None followed the house of David except the tribe of Judah [including Benjamin].
