2 Chronicles 7:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷Solomon also dedicated the middle of the court in front of the Lord’s Temple by offering there burnt offerings and fat from peace offerings because the bronze altar that Solomon had made could not contain the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fat portion offerings. ⁸At that time Solomon also held a week-long festival attended by all of Israel. The assembly was very large, and included people from as far away as Lebo-hamath^[a] to the Wadi^[b] of Egypt.^[c] ⁹On the day after the festival ended,^[d] they convened a solemn assembly, because they had been dedicating the altar for seven days and observing the festival for seven days.
