1Thus allH3605 the workH4399 that SolomonH8010 wrought for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was finishedH7999. And SolomonH8010 broughtH935 in the things that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944; evenH853 the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627, and putH5414 them ha the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 2Then SolomonH8010 assembledH6950 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and allH3605 the headsH7218 of the tribesH4294, the princesH5387 of the fathers’H1 houses of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, unto JerusalemH3389, to bringH5927 upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 outH413 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, whichH1931 is ZionH6726. 3And allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 themselvesH6950 unto the kingH4428 at the feastH2282, whichH1931 was in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 4And allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and the LevitesH3881 tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727. 5and they broughtH5927 upH5927 the arkH727, and the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and allH3605 the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the TentH168; theseH3605 didH834 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bringH5927 upH5927. 6And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 and allH3605 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, that were assembledH3259 unto him, were beforeH6440 the arkH727, sacrificingH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, that could notH3808 be toldH5608 norH3808 numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230. 7And the priestsH3548 broughtH935 in the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 unto itsH853 placeH4725, intoH413 the oracle of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 placeH4725, evenH853 underH8478 the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742. 8For the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 forth their wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimH3742 coveredH3680 the arkH727 and the staves thereof aboveH5921: 9And the staves were soH4480 longH5704 that the endsH7218 of the staves were seenH7200 from the arkH727 beforeH6440 the oracle; but they were notH3808 seenH7200 withoutH3808: and there it is, unto this dayH3117. 10There was nothingH369 in the arkH727 save the twoH8147 tables whichH834 MosesH4872 putH5414 there at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 11And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the priestsH3548 were comeH1961 outH3318 of the holyH6944 placeH6944, (for allH3605 the priestsH3548 that were presentH4672 had sanctifiedH6942 themselvesH6942, and didH8104 notH369 keepH8104 their courses; 12also the LevitesH3881 which were the singersH7891, allH3605 of them, even AsaphH623, HemanH1968, JeduthunH3038, and their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251, arrayedH3847 in fineH948 linenH948, with cymbalsH4700 and psalteries and harpsH3658, stoodH5975 at the eastH4217 end of the altarH4196, and with them an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 priestsH3548 sounding with trumpetsH2689:) 13it cameH1961 evenH3588 to passH1961, when the trumpetersH2689 and singersH7891 were as one, to makeH8085 one soundH6963 to be heardH8085 in praisingH1984 and thanking the LORDH3068; and when they liftedH7311 upH7311 their voiceH6963 with the trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 and instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, sayingH6963, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH3068 endureth for everH5769: that then the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with a cloudH6051, evenH3588 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, 14soH3808 that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 notH3808 standH5975 to ministerH8334 by reason of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
