2 Chronicles 5

1 And it was complete all the work which he had done Solomon for [the] house of Yahweh. And he brought Solomon [the] holy things of - David father his and the silver and the gold and all the articles he put in [the] treasuries of [the] house of God.

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 he called together Solomon [the] elders of Israel and all [the] chiefs of the tribes [the] leaders of the fathers of [the] people of Israel to Jerusalem to bring up [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] city of David it [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 the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3 And they assembled to the king every person of Israel at the festival it [was] the month seventh.

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

4 And they came all [the] elders of Israel and they lifted the Levites 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] articles of holiness which [were] in the tent they brought up them the priests the Levites.

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 And the king Solomon and all [the] congregation of Israel who were gathered with him before the ark [were] sacrificing sheep and cattle which not they were counted and not they were numbered from 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 And they brought the priests [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh to place its to [the] innermost room of the house to [the] holy place of the holy places to under [the] wings of the cherubim.

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 And they were the cherubim spreading out wings over [the] place of the ark and they covered the cherubim over the ark and over poles its from to 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 And they were long the poles and they were visible [the] heads of the poles from the ark on [the] face of the innermost room and not they were visible the outside towards and it was there until the day this.

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 not [was] in the ark only [the] two the tablets which he put Moses at Horeb where he made Yahweh with [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.

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 was when came out the priests from the holy place for all the priests who were found they had consecrated themselves not to keep to 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 And the Levites the singers all of them Asaph Heman Jeduthun and sons their and relatives their [were] fully clothed fine linen with cymbals and with lyres and harps [were] standing east of the altar and [were] with them priests of one hundred and twenty ([who were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) on 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 And it belonged as one (to the trumpeters *Q(k)*) and to the singers to make heard a voice one to praise and to give thanks to Yahweh and just as lifted up a voice with trumpets and with [the] cymbals and with [the] instruments of song and when praised Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his and the house it was full a cloud [the] house of Yahweh.

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 music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

14 And not they were able the priests to stand to serve because of the cloud for it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of God.

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.
