¹² On the altar^(A) of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico, Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord, ¹³ according to the daily requirement^(B) for offerings commanded by Moses for the Sabbaths,^(C) the New Moons^(D) and the three^(E) annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread,^(F) the Festival of Weeks^(G) and the Festival of Tabernacles.^{(H) 14} In keeping with the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions^(I) of the priests for their duties, and the Levites^(J) to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day’s requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers^(K) by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God^(L) had ordered.^{(M) 15} They did not deviate from the king’s commands to the priests or to the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries.

¹⁶ All Solomon’s work was carried out, from the day the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid until its completion. So the temple of the Lord was finished.
