The Second Book of Chronicles
5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Jehovah was finished. And
Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold,
and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God. 5:2Then Solomon assembled
the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children
of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David,
which is Zion. 5:3nd all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which
was in the seventh month. 5:4And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
5:5and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the
Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up. 5:6And king Solomon and all the congregation of
Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could
not be counted nor numbered for multitude. 5:7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of
Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings
of the cherubim. 5:8For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the
cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 5:9And the staves were so long that the
ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and
there it is unto this day. 5:10There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there
at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of
Egypt. 5:11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, (for all the priests
that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses; 5:12also the Levites
who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their
brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the
altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets;) 5:13it came to pass,
when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and
thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and
instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness
endureth for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah, 5:14so
that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled
the house of God.
