* And when Solomon had ended praying , the fire came down from the heavens and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices ; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house . * And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah , because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah 's house . * And all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down , and the glory of Jehovah upon the house , and bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement , and worshipped and thanked Jehovah : For he is good , for his loving-kindness [endureth ] for ever . * And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Jehovah . * And king Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen , and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep . So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God . * And the priests stood in their charges , and the Levites with Jehovah 's instruments of music , which David the king had made to praise Jehovah , for his loving-kindness [endureth ] for ever , when David praised by their means ; and the priests sounded the trumpets opposite to them , and all Israel stood . * And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah ; for there he offered the burnt-offerings , and the fat of the peace-offerings , because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings and the oblations and the fat . * And at that time Solomon held the feast seven days , and all Israel with him , a very great congregation , from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt . * And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly ; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days , and the feast seven days . * And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents , joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had done to David and to Solomon , and to Israel his people .
