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.

They were all joyful and glad because the Lord had been so good to David and to Solomon and to his people Israel.
