6
The Kohanim brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the Keruvim.
7
For the Keruvim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the Keruvim covered the ark and the poles of it above.
8
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
9
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moshe put there at Horev, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Yisra'el, when they came out of the land of Mitzrayim.
10
It came to pass, when the Kohanim were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11
so that the Kohanim could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
12
Then spoke Shlomo, the LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13
I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.
14
The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Yisra'el: and all the assembly of Yisra'el stood.
15
He said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16
Since the day that I brought forth my people Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Yisra'el to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Yisra'el.
