12 Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord (A)that he had built before the vestibule, 13 (B)as the duty of each day required, offering (C)according to the commandment of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the (D)three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths. 14 According to the ruling of David his father, he appointed (E)the divisions of the priests for their service, (F)and the Levites for their offices of praise and (G)ministry before the priests (H)as the duty of each day required, and (I)the gatekeepers in their divisions at each gate, for so David (J)the man of God had commanded. 15 And they did not turn aside from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites concerning any matter and concerning the treasuries.

16 Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from[a] the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was completed.
