The LORD's temple and Solomon's palace were now finished. In fact, everything Solomon had planned to do was completed.
Solomon decided to build a temple where the LORD would be worshipped, and also to build a palace for himself.
Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent everyone home. They left very happy because of all the good things the LORD had done for David and Solomon, and for his people Israel.
I did some great things. I built houses and planted vineyards.
