Barnes' Notes
It is not the intention of the writer to state that the Feast of tabernacles had not been kept from the time of Joshua until this occasion (see I Kings 8:2, I Kings 8:65; Ezra 3:4); but that there had been no such celebration as this since Joshua' s time. Compare II Kings 23:22; II Chronicles 35:18.
