Contextual Overview

1 And when Solomon finished praying, then the fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house; 2 and the priests were not able to go into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah. 3 And all the sons of Israel were watching, when the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah was on the house and they bowed their noses to the earth, on the pavement, and worshiped, and gavethanks to Jehovah: for He is good,for His mercy endures forever. 4 And the king and all the people were offering a sacrifice before Jehovah; 5 and King Solomon offered the sacrifice from the herd, twenty two thousand, and from the flock, a hundred and twenty thousand; all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests were standing over their charges, and the Levites with instruments of music to Jehovah, that David the king had made to give thanks to Jehovah (for His mercy endures forever) when David praised by their hand; andthe priests were blowing trumpets before them, and all Israel was standing. 7 And Solomon dedicated the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for he had offered there the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings; for the bronze altar thatSolomon had made was not able to containthe burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat. 8 And Solomon at that time kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a great company, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt. 9 And they made a solemn assembly on the eighth day, because they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10 And on the twenty third day of the seventh month, he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart, for the goodness that Jehovah had done to David, and to Solomon, and to His people Israel.
