Chapter 7 details the sacrifices that Solomon and the people made to the LORD when the temple was dedicated. Verse 10 details the day of the year when the dedication was completed. It seems that the Day of Atonement was chosen as the day to move the ark of the covenant into the newly completed temple building. On that day the articles of the temple were cleansed to be acceptable for their use before the LORD. What a wonderful way to present to God and his people the new place of worship. This is a different timing from the first time that the tabernacle was erected. It was set up in time to hold the Passover feast (Exodus 40:2-8). I'm sure there is a lesson to be taught in the differences of timing.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
