Context of 2 Chronicles 5:3
1Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord was finished. He brought in the things that his father David had dedicated, and he put the silver and the gold and all the utensils in the treasuries of the house of God. 2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the Israelites, in Jerusalem to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the City of David, which is Zion. All the men of Israel gathered before the king at the feast in the seventh month. 4And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark. 5The Levitical priests brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy utensils that were in the Tent.
