2 Chronicles 7:8

Sacrifices of Dedication

7Then 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. 8So 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.9On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
