Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God and dedicate it to him for the burning of incense of sweet spices before him, and for the regular arrangement of the showbread, and for burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and the new moons and the appointed feasts of the Lord our God, as ordained forever for Israel.

And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month.

At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

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.

as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.

And many people came together in Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

And the people of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness, and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with all their might to the Lord.

Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast for another seven days. So they kept it for another seven days with gladness.

The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the Law of the Lord.

And the people of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.
