1 Kings 8:5Easy To Read VersionKing Solomon and all the people of Israel met together before the Box of the Agreement. [107] {They offered many sacrifices.} They killed so many sheep and cattle that no person was able to count them all. See the chapter |
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.
