1 Kings 8:64-66
Legacy Standard Bible
64 On the same day the king set apart as holy the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, because there he [a]offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for (A)the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 So (B)Solomon celebrated the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly (C)from [b]Lebo-hamath (D)to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, for seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days. 66 On the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the king. Then they went to their tents with gladness and goodness of heart because of all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David His [c]servant and to Israel His people.

1 Kings 8:64-66
New International Version
64 On that same day the king consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings and the fat(A) of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar(B) that stood before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings.(C)
65 So Solomon observed the festival(D) at that time, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath(E) to the Wadi of Egypt.(F) 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(G) things the Lord had done for his servant David and his people Israel.
