2 Chronicles 5

1Thus all the workH4399 that SolomonH8010 madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was finishedH7999: and SolomonH8010 broughtH935 in all the thingsH6944 that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944; and the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and all the instrumentsH3627, he putH5414 in the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 2Then SolomonH8010 assembledH6950 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and all the headsH7218 of the tribesH4294, the leadersH5387 of the fathersH1 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to JerusalemH3389, to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 from the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, which is ZionH6726. 3Therefore all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 themselves to the kingH4428 in the feastH2282 which was in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 4And all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935; and the LevitesH3881 took upH5375 the arkH727. 5And they brought upH5927 the arkH727, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the tabernacleH168, these did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring upH5927. 6Also kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 that were assembledH3259 to him beforeH6440 the arkH727, sacrificedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, which could not be countedH5608 nor numberedH4487 for multitudeH7230. 7And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 to its placeH4725, to the inner sanctuaryH1687 of the houseH1004, into the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742: 8For the cherubimH3742 spread forthH6566 their wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimH3742 coveredH3680 the arkH727 and the staffsH905 of it aboveH4605. 9And they drew outH748 the staffsH905 of the ark, that the endsH7218 of the staffsH905 were seenH7200 from the arkH727 beforeH6440 the inner sanctuaryH1687; but they were not seenH7200 withoutH2351. And there it is to this dayH3117.1 10There was nothing in the arkH727 except the twoH8147 tablesH3871 which MosesH4872 putH5414 in it at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714.2

11And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 had come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place : (for all the priestsH3548 that were presentH4672 were sanctifiedH6942, and did not then waitH8104 by courseH4256:3 12Also the LevitesH3881 who were the singersH7891, all of them of AsaphH623, of HemanH1968, of JeduthunH3038, with their sonsH1121 and their brethrenH251, being arrayedH3847 in white linenH948, having cymbalsH4700 and psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658, stoodH5975 at the east endH4217 of the altarH4196, and with them an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 priestsH3548 soundingH2690 with trumpetsH2689:) 13It came even to pass, as the trumpetersH2690 and singersH7891 were as oneH259, to make oneH259 soundH6963 to be heardH8085 in praisingH1984 and thankingH3034 the LORDH3068; and when they lifted upH7311 their voiceH6963 with the trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 and instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: that then the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with a cloudH6051, even the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; 14So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 by reasonH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
