2 Chronicles 7:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Then Solomon consecrated the middle part of the court that lay in front of the house of the Lord. There he presented the burnt offerings and the fatty portions of the shared offerings because the bronze altar which he had made could not hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fatty parts.

⁸ After that Solomon, and all Israel with him, a massive congregation, from Lebo-hamath to the Wadi of Egypt, celebrated the festival for seven days. ⁹ On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, inasmuch as they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days.
