2 Chronicles 7:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Solomon also dedicated the middle of the courtyard in front of the Lord’s temple. He had to offer the entirely burned offerings and the fat of the well-being sacrifices there because the bronze altar Solomon had made was too small to contain the entirely burned offerings, the grain offerings, and the pieces of fat.

⁸ At that time Solomon, together with all Israel, celebrated the festival for seven days. It was a very large assembly that came from Lebo-hamath to the border^[a] of Egypt. ⁹ On the eighth day there was a gathering. They had dedicated the altar for seven days and celebrated the festival for another seven days.
