“So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him — a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt — kept the feast for seven days.”
2 Chronicles 7:8 (BSB)
Context Reading
6The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing. 7Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not hold all these offerings. 8So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him — a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt — kept the feast for seven days. 9On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more. 10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
