1 Kings 8:62
Compare all
60 athat all the peoples of the earth may know that bthe Lord is God; there is no other.  
61 Let your aheart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”  

Solomon Dedicates the Temple

62 Then athe king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the Lord.  
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the Lord, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
64 On athe same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bbronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.  
65 At that time Solomon held aa feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from bthe entrance of Hamath to cthe Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, dseven days and seven more days—fourteen days.  
66 aOn the eighth day he sent the people away; and they1 blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that the Lord had done for His servant David, and for Israel His people.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
