Thus
all the
work that
Solomon performed for the
house of the
LORD was
finished. And
Solomon brought in the things that
David his
father had
dedicated, even the
silver and the
gold and
all the
utensils, and
put them in the
treasuries of the
house of
God.

Then Solomon assembled to
Jerusalem the
elders of
Israel and
all the
heads of the
tribes, the
leaders of the
fathers' households of the
sons of
Israel, to
bring up the
ark of the
covenant of the
LORD out of the
city of
David,
which is
Zion.

All the
men of
Israel assembled themselves to the
king at the
feast, that is in the
seventh month.

Then

ark.

They
brought up the
ark and the
tent of
meeting and
all the
holy utensils which were in the
tent; the
Levitical priests brought them up.

And
King Solomon and
all the
congregation of
Israel who were
assembled with him
before the
ark, were
sacrificing so
many sheep and
oxen that they could not be
counted or
numbered.

Then the
priests brought the
ark of the
covenant of the
LORD to its
place, into the
inner sanctuary of the
house, to the
holy of
holies,
under the
wings of the
cherubim.

For the
cherubim spread their
wings over the
place of the
ark, so that the
cherubim made a
covering over the
ark and its
poles.

The
poles were so
long that the
ends of the
poles of the
ark could be
seen in
front of the
inner sanctuary, but they could not be
seen outside; and they are
there to
this day.

There was
nothing in the
ark except the
two tablets which Moses put there at
Horeb,
where the
LORD made a covenant with the
sons of
Israel, when they
came out of
Egypt.

When the

sanctified themselves,

and
all the
Levitical singers,
Asaph,
Heman,
Jeduthun, and their
sons and
kinsmen,
clothed in
fine linen, with
cymbals,
harps and
lyres,
standing east of the
altar, and with them one
hundred and
twenty priests blowing trumpets

in
unison when the
trumpeters and the
singers were to
make themselves
heard with
one voice to
praise and to
glorify the
LORD, and when they
lifted up their
voice accompanied by
trumpets and
cymbals and
instruments of
music, and when they
praised the
LORD saying, " He
indeed is
good for His
lovingkindness is
everlasting," then the
house, the
house of the
LORD, was
filled with a
cloud,

God.
