Compare all
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 Kings 8:65-66

Let us go now to I Kings 8:65-66. Again the Feast of Tabernacles shows 7 days long. This one shows the order of events just a little bit more clearly. Same general story, same time element.

The order of events was they had the dedication of the altar, and then they held the Feast for seven days. That was a total of fourteen days, and then he sent the people home on the 23rd. By that time, the 23rd, the eighth day was over too.
