Thus all the work{H4399} that Solomon{H8010} wrought{H6213} for the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} was finished.{H7999} And Solomon{H8010} brought{H935} in the things{H6944} that David{H1732} his father{H1} had dedicated,{H6944} even the silver,{H3701} and the gold,{H2091} and all the vessels,{H3627} and put{H5414} them in the treasuries{H214} of the house{H1004} of God.{H430}

Then Solomon{H8010} assembled{H6950} the elders{H2205} of Israel,{H3478} and all the heads{H7218} of the tribes,{H4294} the princes{H5387} of the fathers'{H1} [houses] of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} unto Jerusalem,{H3389} to bring up{H5927} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} out of the city{H5892} of David,{H1732} which is Zion.{H6726}

And all the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} assembled{H6950} themselves unto the king{H4428} at the feast,{H2282} which was [in] the seventh{H7637} month.{H2320}

And all the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478} came:{H935} and the Levites{H3881} took up{H5375} the ark;{H727}

and they brought up{H5927} the ark,{H727} and the tent{H168} of meeting,{H4150} and all the holy{H6944} vessels{H3627} that were in the Tent;{H168} these did the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} bring up.{H5927}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} and all the congregation{H5712} of Israel,{H3478} that were assembled{H3259} unto him, were before{H6440} the ark,{H727} sacrificing{H2076} sheep{H6629} and oxen,{H1241} that could not be counted{H5608} nor numbered{H4487} for multitude.{H7230}

And the priests{H3548} brought in{H935} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} unto its place,{H4725} into the oracle{H1687} of the house,{H1004} to the most{H6944} holy{H6944} place, even under the wings{H3671} of the cherubim.{H3742}

For the cherubim{H3742} spread forth{H6566} their wings{H3671} over the place{H4725} of the ark,{H727} and the cherubim{H3742} covered{H3680} the ark{H727} and the staves{H905} thereof above.{H4605}

And the staves{H905} were so long{H748} that the ends{H7218} of the staves{H905} were seen{H7200} from the ark{H727} before{H6440} the oracle;{H1687} but they were not seen{H7200} without:{H2351} and there it is unto this day.{H3117}

There was nothing in the ark{H727} save the two{H8147} tables{H3871} which Moses{H4872} put{H5414} [there] at Horeb,{H2722} when Jehovah{H3068} made{H3772} a covenant with the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} when they came out{H3318} of Egypt.{H4714}

And it came to pass, when the priests{H3548} were come out{H3318} of the holy{H6944} place, (for all the priests{H3548} that were present{H4672} had sanctified{H6942} themselves, and did not keep{H8104} their courses;{H4256}

also the Levites{H3881} who were the singers,{H7891} all of them, even Asaph,{H623} Heman,{H1968} Jeduthun,{H3038} and their sons{H1121} and their brethren,{H251} arrayed{H3847} in fine linen,{H948} with cymbals{H4700} and psalteries{H5035} and harps,{H3658} stood{H5975} at the east end{H4217} of the altar,{H4196} and with them a hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} priests{H3548} sounding{H2690} with trumpets;){H2689}

it came to pass, when the trumpeters{H2690} and singers{H7891} were as one,{H259} to make one{H259} sound{H6963} to be heard{H8085} in praising{H1984} and thanking{H3034} Jehovah;{H3068} and when they lifted up{H7311} their voice{H6963} with the trumpets{H2689} and cymbals{H4700} and instruments{H3627} of music,{H7892} and praised{H1984} Jehovah,{H3068} [saying], For he is good;{H2896} for his lovingkindness{H2617} [endureth] for ever;{H5769} that then the house{H1004} was filled{H4390} with a cloud,{H6051} even the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068}

so that the priests{H3548} could{H3201} not stand{H5975} to minister{H8334} by reason{H6440} of the cloud:{H6051} for the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} filled{H4390} the house{H1004} of God.{H430}
