So there at the temple, King Solomon and all the people of Israel celebrated the holiday. [118] All Israel was there, from as far away as Hamath Pass in the north, to the border of Egypt in the south. Many, many people were there. They ate, drank, and enjoyed themselves together with the Lord for seven days. Then they stayed for another seven days. They celebrated for a total of 14 days! [119]
And King Jeroboam started a new holiday. This holiday was like the {Passover} Festival in Judah. But this holiday was on the 15th day of the eighth month {not the 15th day of the first month}. During that time the king offered sacrifices on the altar in the city of Bethel. And he made the sacrifices to the calves that he had made. King Jeroboam also chose priests in Bethel to serve at the high places that he made.
