1KI 8:63⁶³And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. (1 Kings 8:63)

1 Kings 8:63⁶³And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. (1 Kings 8:63)

Did Solomon offer just one animal as a peace offering? NO! 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Do you realize how many that is? And yet peace was not made with God until the ONE perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
