I RE 8:64

In quel giorno il re dedicò il mezzo del Cortile, ch'era davanti alla Casa del Signore; perciocchè sacrificò quivi olocausti ed offerte, e il grasso de' sacrificii da render grazie; perchè l'Altare di rame ch'era davanti al Signore, era troppo piccolo, per capirvi gli olocausti, e le offerte, e il grasso de' sacrificii da render grazie.

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
