New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
1Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house. 2And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’S house. 3All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the Lord upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the Lord, saying, 'Certainly He is good, certainly His faithfulness is everlasting.'
4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the Lord.
5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the musical instruments for the Lord, which King David had made for giving praise to the Lord—'for His faithfulness is everlasting'—whenever David gave praise through their ministry; the priests on the other side blew trumpets and all Israel was standing.
