King Solomon feast of temple dedication concludes after Sukkot

Dedicatory Sacrifices

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

65So Solomon observed the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before YHVH our God, for seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days. 66On the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the king. Then they went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that YHVH had shown to David His servant and to Israel His people.

1 Kings 8:62-66

8So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—observed 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. 10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that YHVH had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel
