2 Chronicles 7:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Solomon consecrated the middle of the court in front of the Eternal’s temple by giving burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings. The bronze altar was not large enough to hold the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the fat.

⁸ Solomon and all of Israel (from the border with Hamath in Aram to the river of Egypt) feasted for seven days, celebrating the temple dedication and Succoth, the Festival of Booths. ⁹ On the eighth day, after the dedication of the altar and the feasting had concluded, the people held a solemn assembly.
