2 Chronicles 5
1. Thus all the work that Solomon made * for the house of the LORD was finished * : and Solomon brought * in all the things * that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put * he among the treasures of the house of God.
2. Then Solomon assembled * the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up * the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3. Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled * themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
4. And all the elders of Israel came * ; and the Levites took up * the ark.
5. And they brought up * the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle,these did the priests and the Levites bring up * .
6. Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled * unto him before the ark, sacrificed * sheep and oxen, which could not be told * nor numbered * for multitude.
7. And the priests brought in * the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:
8. For the cherubims spread forth * their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered * the ark and the staves thereof above.
9. And they drew out * the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen * from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen * without.And there it is unto this day.
10. There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put * therein at Horeb, when the LORD made * a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out * of Egypt.
11. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out * of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present * were sanctified * , and did not then wait * by course:
12. Also the Levites which were the singers * , all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed * in white linen,having cymbals and psalteries and harps,stood * at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding * with trumpets:)
13. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters * and singers * were as one, to make one sound to be heard * in praising * and thanking * the LORD; and when they lifted up * their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised * the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled * with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
14. So that the priests could * not stand * to minister * by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled * the house of God.
