And all the

Israel came, and the
priests took
up the
ark.

And they brought

LORD, and the
tabernacle of the
congregation, and all the
holy vessels that were in the
tabernacle, even those did the
priests and the
Levites bring
up.

And
king Solomon, and all the
congregation of
Israel, that were
assembled unto him, were with him
before the
ark, sacrificing sheep and
oxen, that could not be
told nor
numbered for
multitude.

And the
priests brought
in the
ark of the
covenant of the
LORD unto his
place, into the
oracle of the
house, to the
most holy place, even under the
wings of the
cherubims.

For the
cherubims spread
forth their two
wings over the
place of the
ark, and the
cherubims covered the
ark and the
staves thereof
above.

And they drew
out the

ends of the
staves were seen
out in the
holy place
before the
oracle, and they were not
seen without: and there they are unto this
day.

There was nothing in the
ark save the
two tables of
stone, which
Moses put there at
Horeb, when the
LORD made a covenant with the
children of
Israel, when they came
out of the
land of
Egypt.

And it came to pass, when the

So that the

filled the

Since the
day that I brought
forth my
people Israel out of
Egypt, I
chose no
city out of all the
tribes of
Israel to
build an
house, that my
name might be therein; but I
chose David to be over my
people Israel.

And the

performed his
word that he
spake, and I am risen
up in the room of
David my

sit on the
throne of
Israel, as the
LORD promised, and have
built an

LORD God of

And I have

And
