SOLOMON'S YEARLY SACRIFICES. (Kg1 9:24-28) three times in a year--namely, at the passover, pentecost, and feast of tabernacles (Ch2 8:13; Ch2 31:3). The circumstances mentioned in these two verses form a proper conclusion to the record of his buildings and show that his design in erecting those at Jerusalem was to remedy defects existing at the commencement of his reign (see Kg1 3:1-4).
