62 Now the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before the Lord . 63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings , which he offered to the Lord , 22,000 e e oxen and 120,000 e e sheep . So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord . 64 On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord , because there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings ; for the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings .

Commentary on 1 Kings 8:62-66
(Read 1 Kings 8:62-66)
Solomon offered a great sacrifice. He kept the feast of tabernacles, as it seems, after the feast of dedication. Thus should we go home, rejoicing, from holy ordinances, thankful for God's Goodness
