1 Kings 8:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that came together to him, went with him before the ark; and they offered sheep and oxen, without guessing and number[a]. (And King Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, who came together to him, went with him before the Ark; and they offered sheep and oxen, beyond estimating, or counting.)
6 And [the] priests brought the ark of [the] bond of peace of the Lord into his place, into God’s answering place of the temple, into the holy of holy things, under the wings of the cherubims. (And the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord into its place, into God’s answering place at the Temple, yea, into the Inner Temple, that is, the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.)
7 And the cherubims spreaded forth their wings over the place of the ark; and they covered the ark, and the bars thereof above.

5 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing(A) so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
