1 Kings 8:63 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 8:63

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.
