23 Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast ^ffor another seven days. So they kept it for another seven days with gladness. 24 For Hezekiah king of Judah ^ggave the assembly 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep for offerings, and the princes gave the assembly 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep. And the priests ^hconsecrated themselves in great numbers. 25 The whole assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, ⁱand the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel, and the sojourners who lived in Judah, rejoiced. 26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for ^jsince the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. 27 Then ^kthe priests and the Levites arose and ^lblessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to ^mhis holy habitation in heaven.
