2 Chronicles 5

1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Jehovah was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of Yhwh 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 ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the City of David, which is Zion.

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 Yhwh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

4 All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

5 and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.

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 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yhwh unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

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 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And they are there to this day.

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 except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when Yhwh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of the divisions;

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 who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets; )

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 happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever," then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yhwh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised Yhwh, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yhwh;

14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled God's house.

So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yhwh had filled the house of God.
