1 Kings 8:61-63

New International Reader's Version

⁶¹ And may you commit your lives completely to the Lord our God. May you live by his rules. May you obey his commands. May you always do as you are doing now.”

The Temple Is Set Apart to the Lord

⁶² Then the king and the whole community of Israel offered sacrifices to the Lord. ⁶³ Solomon sacrificed friendship offerings to the Lord. He sacrificed 22,000 oxen. He also sacrificed 120,000 sheep and goats. So the king and the whole community set the temple of the Lord apart to him.
