SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:65
En aquel tiempo Salomón hizo fiesta, y con él todo Israel, una gran congregación, desde donde entran en Hamat hasta el río de Egipto, delante del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, por siete días y otros siete días, esto es, por catorce días.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 8:65
Verse 65. From-Hamath] Supposed to be Antioch of Syria; unto the river of Egypt-to the Rhinocorura; the former being on the north, the latter on the south: i.e., from one extremity of the land to the other.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 65. And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him , etc.] Partaking of the parts of the peace offerings which belonged to him, and were offered by way of thanksgiving on the occasion, together with whatsoever he might as a liberal prince provide for this entertainment: for it was for a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt ; consisting of a number of people, gathered together from Hamath, which was on the northern border of the land of Israel, to the river of Egypt; either the Nile, or Rhinoculura, a branch of it, which lay on the southern border of the land: and this was kept before the Lord ; as in his presence, with thankfulness to him, and with a view to his glory: seven days and seven days, even fourteen days ; seven days for the dedication of the house, and seven days for the feast of tabernacles, as the Targum; which agrees with ( 2 Chronicles 7:9), the feast of dedication was first, and began perhaps on the seventh day of the month, as the feast of tabernacles did on the fifteenth: within this time, namely, on the tenth, was a fast day, the day of atonement; which was either observed between the two feasts, or was omitted, which is not likely; or they did not eat and drink until the evening of that day. The Septuagint version, according to the Vatican copy, reads “seven days” only once; (see 2 Chronicles 7:8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 62-66 - Solomon offered a great sacrifice. He kept the feast of tabernacles, a it seems, after the feast of dedication. Thus should we go home rejoicing, from holy ordinances, thankful for God's Goodnes __________________________________________________________________
