* When Solomon had finished praying , fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices ; and the glory of the LORD filled the temple . * And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD , because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD 's house . * When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down , and the glory of the LORD on the temple , they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement , and worshiped and praised the LORD , saying : "For He is good , For His mercy endures forever ." * Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD . * King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep . So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God . * And the priests attended to their services ; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the LORD , which King David had made to praise the LORD , saying , "For His mercy endures forever ," whenever David offered praise by their ministry . The priests sounded trumpets opposite them , while all Israel stood . * Furthermore Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD ; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings , because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings , the grain offerings , and the fat . * At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days , and all Israel with him , a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt . * And on the eighth day they held a sacred assembly , for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days , and the feast seven days . * On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents , joyful and glad of heart for the good that the LORD had done for David , for Solomon , and for His people Israel .
