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.
