1 Kings 8:1-9

1Then SolomonH8010 assembledH6950 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and all the headsH7218 of the tribesH4294, the chiefH5387 of the fathersH1 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010 in JerusalemH3389, that they might bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, which is ZionH6726.1

2And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 themselves unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010 at the feastH2282 in the monthH3391 EthanimH388, which is the seventhH7637 monthH2320.

3And all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727.

4And they brought upH5927 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the tabernacleH168, even those did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring upH5927.

5And kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, that were assembledH3259 unto him, were with him beforeH6440 the arkH727, sacrificingH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, that could not be toldH5608 nor numberedH4487 for multitudeH7230.

6And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 unto his placeH4725, into the oracleH1687 of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742.

7For the cherubimsH3742 spread forthH6566 their two wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimsH3742 coveredH5526 the arkH727 and the stavesH905 thereof aboveH4605.

8And they drew outH748 the stavesH905, that the endsH7218 of the stavesH905 were seen outH7200 in the holyH6944 place beforeH6440 the oracleH1687, and they were not seenH7200 withoutH2351: and there they are unto this dayH3117.23

9There was nothing in the arkH727 saveH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, which MosesH4872 putH3240 there at HorebH2722, when YhwhH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.4
