Midrash su I Re 8:65
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֣ה בָֽעֵת־הַהִ֣יא ׀ אֶת־הֶחָ֡ג וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עִמּוֹ֩ קָהָ֨ל גָּד֜וֹל מִלְּב֥וֹא חֲמָ֣ת ׀ עַד־נַ֣חַל מִצְרַ֗יִם לִפְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְשִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים אַרְבָּעָ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר יֽוֹם׃
Allora Salomone tenne la festa in quel momento, e tutto Israele con lui, una grande congregazione, dall'entrata Hamath al ruscello d'Egitto, davanti al Signore nostro Dio, sette giorni e sette giorni, anche quattordici giorni.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
(Ib. 9) But whence do we learn that one joy must not be mixed with another? Said R. Juda in the name of Samuel: "It is written (I Kings 8, 65) And Solomon held at the time the feast, etc., seven days and seven days, even fourteen days. Now, if it be true that one joy may be mixed with another, why then did Solomon not postpone his feast until the festival; for then the seven days of the festival would have served for both?" R. Parnach, in the name of R. Jochanan, said: "In that year the Israelites had not observed the Day of Atonement and they were perturbed over the sin that might cause them destruction. Whereupon a heavenly voice came forth and said unto them: 'All of you are destined for the future world'" And whence do we learn that they were pardoned for that sin? R. Tachlipha was taught (See Volume One, page 118, line 9).
