Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 8:65


8:65 Seven - Seven for the dedication of the temple, or altar; and theother seven for the feast of tabernacles. And it seems to be expressed inthis manner, to intimate, that these fourteen days of rejoicing, were notaltogether, but that there was some interval between them, which indeed wasnecessary, because the day of atonement was on the tenth day of this month,#Lev 23:27|. And because these fourteen days ended on the twenty - secondday, #2Chron 7:10|, it may seem most probable, that the feast of thededication was kept before the tenth day: and the feast of tabernacles somedays after it.
