The Message
1 Kings 8:65-66
The Message
65-66 This is how Solomon kept the great autumn feast, and all Israel with him, people there all the way from the far northeast (the Entrance to Hamath) to the far southwest (the Brook of Egypt)—a huge congregation. They started out celebrating for seven days—and then did it another seven days! Two solid weeks of celebration! Then he dismissed them. They blessed the king and went home, exuberant with heartfelt gratitude for all the good God had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.

1 Kings 8:65-66
New International Version
65 So Solomon observed the festival(A) at that time, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath(B) to the Wadi of Egypt.(C) They celebrated it before the Lord our God for seven days and seven days more, fourteen days in all. 66 On the following day he sent the people away. They blessed the king and then went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good(D) things the Lord had done for his servant David and his people Israel.
