1 When Solomon had ended his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 But the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.
3 All the Israelites looked on while the fire came down and the glory of the Lord was upon the house, and they fell down upon the pavement with their faces to the earth and worshiped, praising the Lord, “who is so good, whose love endures forever.”
4 The king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
5 King Solomon offered as sacrifice twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
