2 Chronicles 7:8-10
English Standard Version
8 At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from (A)Lebo-hamath to the (B)Brook of Egypt. 9 And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they had kept the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the prosperity[a] that the Lord had granted to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

2 Chronicles 7:8-10
International Standard Version
8 At that time Solomon also held a week-long festival attended by all of Israel. The assembly was very large, and included people from as far away as Lebo-hamath[a] to the Wadi[b] of Egypt.[c] 9 On the day after the festival ended,[d] they convened a solemn assembly, because they had been dedicating the altar for seven days and observing the festival for seven days. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, King Solomon[e] sent the people back home,[f] and they returned[g] rejoicing and in good spirits because of the goodness that the Lord had shown to David, to Solomon, and to his people Israel.
