1 Kings 8:1-9

11ThenH227 SolomonH8010 assembledH6950 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and allH3605 2the headsH7218 of the tribesH4294, the leadersH5387 of the fathers’H1 households of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, to KingH4428 SolomonH8010 in JerusalemH3389, 3to bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 from 4the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that is, ZionH6726.

2So allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 themselves beforeH413 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 at 5the feastH2282, in the monthH3391 EthanimH388, that is, the seventhH7637 monthH2320.

3Then allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and 6the priestsH3548 tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727.

4And they broughtH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the LordH3068, 7the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and allH3605 the holyH6944 utensilsH3627 whichH834 were in the tentH168; the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 broughtH5927 them upH5927.

5And KingH4428 SolomonH8010 and allH3605 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, who were gatheredH3259 togetherH3259 to him, 8were with him beforeH6440 the arkH727, sacrificingH2076 9so manyH7230 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 that they could not be countedH5608 or numberedH4487.

6Then 10the priestsH3548 broughtH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 11to its placeH4725, into the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 of the houseH1004, to the MostH6944 HolyH6944 PlaceH6944, 12underH8478 the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742.

7For the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 their wingsH3671 overH413 the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimH3742 madeH5526 aH5526 coveringH5526 overH5921 the arkH727 and its carryingH905 polesH905 from aboveH4480H4605.

8But 13the polesH905 were so longH748 that the endsH7218 of the polesH905 could be seenH7200 from the holyH6944 place in frontH5921H6440 of the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, but they could not be seenH7200 outsideH2351; they are thereH8033 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

914ThereH369 wasH369 nothingH369 in the arkH727 exceptH7534 the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of stoneH68 whichH834 MosesH4872 putH5117 thereH8033 at HorebH2722, whereH834 15the LordH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they cameH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
