Much sacrificing occurred at this dedication. •Court for the sacrificing: a place was set up in the court of the Temple because the altar was too small to handle all the sacrifices. •Consuming of the sacrifices: the fire of God fell upon them and consumed them. •Commemorating during the sacrificing: the feast of Tabernacles was observed during this time. 2 Chronicles 7:12–22—Special for Solomon. God gave Solomon another special revelation at this time. This was the second revelation of God to Solomon.
