1 Kings 8:62-64

International Standard Version

Solomon’s Initial Offerings^(A)

⁶² Then the king and all of Israel with him offered sacrifices to the Lord. ⁶³ Solomon offered peace offerings to the Lord consisting of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelis dedicated the Lord’s Temple. ⁶⁴ That same day, the king consecrated the middle court that stood in front of the Lord’s Temple, because that was where he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fat from the peace offerings and because the bronze altar that was in the Lord’s presence was too small to hold the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fat from the peace offerings.
