1 As soon as Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and burnt up the offerings. The Lord's dazzling glory then filled the temple,
2 and the priests could not go in.
3 When the crowd of people saw the fire and the Lord's glory, they knelt down and worshipped the Lord. They prayed:“The Lord is good,and his love never ends.”
4-5 Solomon and the people dedicated the temple to the Lord by sacrificing twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep.
