1 Thus all the work that
Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all
the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold,
and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of
Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the
children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel
assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh
month.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and
the Levites took up the ark.
5 And they brought up the ark, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the
tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
6 Also king Solomon, and all the
congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed
sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of
the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the
most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:
8 For the cherubims spread forth their
wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the
staves thereof above.
9 And they drew out the staves of the
ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle;
but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
10 There was nothing in the ark
save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a
covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 And it came to pass, when
the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that
were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:
12 Also the Levites which were the
singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their
brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and
harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty
priests sounding with trumpets:)
13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters
and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and
thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets
and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he
is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house
was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
14 So that the priests could not stand to
minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house
of God.
