- The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the instruments of music to the LORD, which King David had made for giving praise to the LORD--"for His lovingkindness is everlasting"--whenever he gave praise by their means, while the priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.
- Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt offering, the grain offering and the fat.
- So Solomon observed the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly who came from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
- On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar they observed seven days and the feast seven days.
- Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy of heart because of the goodness that the LORD had shown to David and to Solomon and to His people Israel.

- 祭司侍立,各供其职。利未人也拿着耶和华的乐器,就是大卫王造出来,藉利未人颂赞耶和华的。(他的慈爱永远长存。)祭司在众人面前吹号,以色列人都站立。
- 所罗门因他所造的铜坛容不下燔祭,素祭,和脂油,便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣,在那里献燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。
- 那时所罗门和以色列众人,就是从哈马口直到埃及小河,所有的以色列人都聚集成为大会,守节七日。
- 第八日设立严肃会,行奉献坛的礼七日,守节七日。
- 七月二十三日,王遣散众民。他们因见耶和华向大卫和所罗门与他民以色列所施的恩惠,就都心中喜乐,各归各家去了。
