But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
All the people of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month).
On this occasion Solomon and all Israel with him, a great assembly from Lebo-hamath to the Wadi of Egypt, celebrated the festival before the Lord, our God, for seven days.
They also kept the feast of Booths in the manner prescribed, and they offered the daily burnt offerings in the proper number required for each day.
