And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this
prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar
of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to
heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with
a loud voice, saying, Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto
his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not
failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand
of Moses his servant. The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our
fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: that he may incline our
hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,
and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the
LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the
cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times,
as the matter shall require: that all the people of the earth may know
that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. Let your heart
therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes,
and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from
heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the
glory of the LORD filled the house. And the priests could not enter
into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled
the LORD'S house. And when all the children of Israel saw how the
fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed
themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and
worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy
endureth for ever.

Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen,
and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the
people dedicated the house of God.
