64 On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that 'is' before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that 'is' before Jehovah 'is' too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings. 65 And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival—and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt—before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days. 66 On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.

Commentary on 1 Kings 8:62-66
(Read 1 Kings 8:62-66)
Solomon offered a great sacrifice. He kept the feast of tabernacles, as it seems, after the feast of dedication. Thus should we go home, rejoicing, from holy ordinances, thankful for God's Goodness
