“And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:61 Perfect - Let your obedience be universal, without dividing;upright, without dissembling; and constant, without declining.
8:63 Offered - Not all in one day, but in the seven, or it may be inthe fourteen days, mentioned ver.#65|.
8:64 Middle of the court - Of the priests court, in which the greataltar was. This he consecrated as he did the great altar, by sacrifices;but with this difference, that he consecrated that for perpetual use: butthis only for the present occasion, being warranted to do so both by thenecessity of it for God's service, and for the present solemn work, forwhich the brazen altar was not sufficient; and by the direction of God'sspirit, wherewith Solomon was endowed, as being a prophet, as well as aking. Here therefore he suddenly reared up divers altars, which, afterthis solemnity were demolished.
