2 Chronicles 5:4 In-Context

2 Bringing all this to a climax, Solomon got all the leaders together in Jerusalem - all the chiefs of tribes and the family patriarchs - to move the Chest of the Covenant of God from Zion and install it in The Temple.

3 All the men of Israel assembled before the king on the feast day of the seventh month, the Feast of Booths.

4 When all the leaders of Israel were ready, the Levites took up the Chest.

5 They carried the Chest, the Tent of Meeting, and all the sacred things in the Tent used in worship. The priests, all Levites, carried them.

6 King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel were there before the Chest, worshiping and sacrificing huge numbers of sheep and cattle - so many that no one could keep track.
