2 Chronicles 5:4 In-Context

2 Solomon called for the older leaders of Israel, the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families to come to him in Jerusalem. He wanted them to bring the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord from the older part of the city.

3 So all the Israelites came together with the king during the festival in the seventh month.

4 When all the older leaders of Israel arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.

5 They carried the Ark of the Agreement, the Meeting Tent, and the holy utensils in it; the priests and the Levites brought them up.

6 King Solomon and all the Israelites gathered before the Ark of the Agreement and sacrificed so many sheep and bulls no one could count them.
