Contextual Overview
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned up the burnt offering and the sacrifices. The Lord 's glory filled the Temple. 2 The priests could not enter the Temple of the Lord , because the Lord 's glory filled it. 3 When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down from heaven and the Lord 's glory on the Temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground. They worshiped and thanked the Lord , saying, "He is good; his love continues forever." 4 Then King Solomon and all the people offered sacrifices to the Lord . 5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people gave the Temple to God. 6 The priests stood ready to do their work. The Levites also stood with the instruments of the Lord 's music that King David had made for praising the Lord . The priests and Levites were saying, "His love continues forever." The priests, who stood across from the Levites, blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing. 7 Solomon made holy the middle part of the courtyard, which is in front of the Temple of the Lord . There he offered whole burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings. He offered them in the courtyard, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fat. 8 Solomon and all the Israelites celebrated the festival for seven days. There were many people, and they came from as far away as Lebo Hamath and the brook of Egypt. 9 For seven days they celebrated giving the altar for the worship of God. Then they celebrated the festival for seven days. On the eighth day they had a meeting. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month Solomon sent the people home, full of joy. They were happy because the Lord had been so good to David, Solomon, and his people Israel.
