1 Kings 8:64

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court [ i.e; the entire area of the court of the priests ( 1 Kings 6:36 ). Ewald translates "the inner court." The whole space may have been regarded as "one huge altar" (Rawlinson), or temporary altars may have been erected all over the area. As already observed, this fact alone points to an enormous number of victims] that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings [Heb. the burnt offerings, i.e; either the usual daily burnt offerings ( Numbers 28:3 ), or more probably, those appropriate to such a special function ( Numbers 29:13 sqq.; cf. 1 Kings 3:4 ) ], and meat offerings [Heb. the meat offering . Both this and the preceding word ( הָעֹלָה ) are singular (generic) in the original], and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord [ i.e; house of the Lord] was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings [and yet it was 20 cubits (30 feet) square, and so would offer a surface of 100 square yards].
