1 Kings 8:5
Ver. 5. And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled together,.... On this solemn occasion:
were with him before the ark; while it was in the court of the priests, before it was carried into the most holy place:
sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude; the phrase seems to be hyperbolical, and designed to denote a great number.
