Context — Solomon Anointed King
19And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”
20Then David said to the whole assembly, “Bless the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.
21The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest. 23So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.Cross References

The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing. Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings. So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:21
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:21
Unto the Lord; before the ark which was there. For all Israel; either, 1. On the behalf of all Israel, to praise God in their names, to procure God’ s presence and blessing for them all. Or, 2. So many, that the feasts which, after the manner, were made of the remainders of the sacrifices, were abundantly sufficient for all the Israelites which were then present and desired to partake of them; or for all the governors of Israel there assembled, who may well pass under the name of all Israel, because they represented them all.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:21
1 Chronicles 29:21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:Ver. 21. A thousand bullocks.] This was beyond those heathenish hecatombs, for which some are so renowned in histories. A great public sacrifice (properly of a hundred oxen) among the ancient Greeks and Romans, and hence extended to the religious sacrifices of other nations; a large number of animals offered or set apart for a sacrifice.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:21
(21) On the morrow after that day (lĕ ?mohŏ ?rath hayyτm hahϋ); here only. (Comp. Jonah 4:7.) That is, on the day after the assembly. A thousand bullocks . . .—Heb., Bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, &c., according to the later mode of speech; and their libations (Psalms 16:4; Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:13). And sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.—The word “sacrifices” (zĕ ?bβhξm) occurred in a general sense at the beginning of the verse. Here, in connexion with burnt-offerings, it has the special meaning of “thank-offerings” (shĕ ?lβmξm; Authorised Version, “peace-offerings,” Deuteronomy 12:6). See for both kinds of sacrifice, Leviticus 1:1 sqq.; Exodus 20:24; Exodus 24:5. For all Israel.—So that every one present might partake of the sacrificial meal. (Comp. Notes on 1 Chronicles 16:2-3; Deuteronomy 12:7; 1 Samuel 1:3-8; 1 Samuel 1:13.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:21
Verse 21. With their drink-offerings] The Targum says a thousand drink-offerings, making these libations equal in number to the other offerings. And sacrifices] These were peace-offerings, offered for the people, and on the flesh of which they feasted.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 29:21
21. And they sacrificed] Cp. 1 Chronicles 16:1-3.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 29:21
With their drink offerings - i. e., with the drink-offerings appropriate to each kind of burnt-offering, and required by the Law to accompany them (see Numbers 15:5, Numbers 15:7,Numbers 15:10, etc.).
