So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house. The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood. Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before Yahweh’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat. So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt. On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated Yahweh’s house. The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings. So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

And sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.—The word “sacrifices” (zĕbâhîm) occurred in a general sense at the beginning of the verse. Here, in connexion with burnt-offerings, it has the special meaning of “thank-offerings” (shĕlâmîm; Authorised Version, “peace-offerings,” Deu_12:6). See for both kinds of sacrifice, Lev_1:1 sqq.; Exo_20:24; Exo_24:5.
For all Israel.—So that every one present might partake of the sacrificial meal. (Comp. Notes on 1Ch_16:2-3; Deu_12:7; 1Sa_1:3-8; 1Sa_1:13.)

Vers. 21-25. These verses record "the sacrifices and drink offerings" by which all the service of this day was ratified as it were on the following day; also the solemn "anointing of Solomon to the Lord as chief governor, and of Zadok as priest," with the visible enthronement of Solomon, and the submission to him "of all Israel, of all the princes and mighty men, and also of all the sons of David". (1Ki_1:49-53)
In this verse the distinction is to be noticed between the sacrifices of thank offerings ( those of burnt offerings ( and their drink offerings, i.e the drink offerings that went w ith them ( For the first of these the more specific Hebrew word is (Lev_7:20 Lev_9:4) or jbz, (Lev_3:1 Lev_7:11, Lev_7:13, Lev_7:15; Num_7:17) The breast and right shoulder were the priest"s share. All the rest belonged to the person who sacrificed, and his friends, and must be eaten the same or the next day. (Lev_7:11-18, Lev_7:29-34) Other particulars may be found in Smith"s "Bible Dictionary," 3:1470, 1471. The last clause of our verse tells us how ample was the feast provided by these sacrifices on this occasion, being in abundance for all Israel The burnt offering is first mentioned in Gen_8:20; it is the only sacrifice that the Book of Genesis (see Gen_15:9, etc.; Gen_22:2, etc.) knows. The offering (hj; n]mi) of Gen_4:4 is somewhat obscure, but does not appear to have been a sacrifice of blood. This sacrifice was one which was wholly consumed on the altar of fire, and supposed to ascend to heaven. The chief kinds of burnt offerings were
Read full note →
(1) the daily (Exo_29:38-42; Num_28:3-8)
(2) the sabbath; (Num_28:8-10)
(3) that at the new moon, the Day of Atonement, the three great festivals and the Feast of Trumpets. (Num_28:11-31; Num_29:1-39)
Beside these, there were the several kinds of freewill and private burnt offerings. The first, seventh, and eighth chapters of Leviticus contain full accounts of the ceremonial. The drink offering is spoken of as early as Gen_35:14; but those to which reference is here made as appertaining to the before-mentioned sacrifices are more explicitly spoken of in such passages as Exo_29:40 Lev_23:13; Num_6:17 Num_15:5-24 Num_28:10-14.

29:21-25 Sacrifices followed the speeches and prayers at Solomon’s coronation. Solomon and Zadok were anointed, and Solomon acceded to the throne. Zadok was not beginning his priestly role but was being dedicated to serve in the Temple itself. (The descendants of Zadok are mentioned in Ezek 40:46; 43:19; 44:15; 48:11.)
