1 Kings 8:63-65
1599 Geneva Bible
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings which he offered unto the Lord, to wit, two and twenty thousand beeves, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the King and all the children of Israel dedicated the [a]house of the Lord.
64 The same day did the King hallow the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord: for there he made burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the (A)brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 And Solomon made at that time a feast and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, even from the entering in of [b]Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, [c]seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
