5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of the herd, twenty-two thousand, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. And the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests were standing over their charges, and the Levites with instruments of the song of YHWH that David the king had made to give thanks to YHWH: “For forever is His loving devotion,” of David praising by their hand, and the priests sounded trumpets opposite them, and all Israel was standing. 7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of YHWH, for he offered there the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the present, and the fat. 8 And Solomon kept the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt. 9 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar they observed seven days, and the feast seven days. 2 Chronicles 7:5-9, Berean Literal Bible.
