Dual Panel1Thus all<3605> the work<4399> that Solomon<8010> performed<6213> for the house<1004> of the LORD<3068> was finished<7999>. And Solomon<8010> brought<935> in the things that David<1732> his father<1> had dedicated<6944>, even the silver<3701> and the gold<2091> and all<3605> the utensils<3627>, and put<5414> them in the treasuries<214> of the house<1004> of God<430>.
2Then<227> Solomon<8010> assembled<6950> to Jerusalem<3389> the elders<2205> of Israel<3478> and all<3605> the heads<7218> of the tribes<4294>, the leaders<5387> of the fathers'<1> households of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, to bring<5927> up the ark<727> of the covenant<1285> of the LORD<3068> out of the city<5892> of David<1732>, which<1931> is Zion<6726>.
3All<3605> the men<376> of Israel<3478> assembled<6950> themselves to the king<4428> at the feast<2282>, that is in the seventh<7637> month<2320>.
4Then all<3605> the elders<2205> of Israel<3478> came<935>, and the Levites<3881> took<5375> up the ark<727>.
5They brought<5927> up the ark<727> and the tent<168> of meeting<4150> and all<3605> the holy<6944> utensils<3627> which<834> were in the tent<168>; the Levitical<3881> priests<3548> brought<5927> them up.
6And King<4428> Solomon<8010> and all<3605> the congregation<5712> of Israel<3478> who were assembled<3259> with him before<6440> the ark<727>, were sacrificing<2076> so many<7230> sheep<6629> and oxen<1241> that they could not be counted<5608> or numbered<4487>.
7Then the priests<3548> brought<935> the ark<727> of the covenant<1285> of the LORD<3068> to its place<4725>, into the inner<1687> sanctuary<1687> of the house<1004>, to the holy<6944> of holies<6944>, under<8478> the wings<3671> of the cherubim<3742>.
8For the cherubim<3742> spread<6566> their wings<3671> over<5921> the place<4725> of the ark<727>, so that the cherubim<3742> made<3680> a covering<3680> over<5921> the ark<727> and its poles<905>.
9The poles<905> were so long<748> that the ends<7218> of the poles<905> of the ark<727> could be seen<7200> in front<6440> of the inner<1687> sanctuary<1687>, but they could not be seen<7200> outside<2351>; and they are there<8033> to this<2088> day<3117>.
10There<369> was nothing<369> in the ark<727> except<7534> the two<8147> tablets<3871> which<834> Moses<4872> put<5414> there at Horeb<2722>, where<834> the LORD<3068> made<3772> a covenant with the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, when they came<3318> out of Egypt<4714>.
11When the priests<3548> came<3318> forth<3318> from the holy<6944> place (for all<3605> the priests<3548> who were present<4672> had sanctified<6942> themselves, without<369> regard<8104> to divisions<4256>),
12and all<3605> the Levitical<3881> singers<7891>, Asaph<623>, Heman<1968>, Jeduthun<3038>, and their sons<1121> and kinsmen<251>, clothed<3847> in fine<948> linen<948>, with cymbals<4700>, harps<5035> and lyres<3658>, standing<5975> east<4217> of the altar<4196>, and with them one hundred<3967> and twenty<6242> priests<3548> blowing<2690> trumpets<2689>
13in unison<259> when the trumpeters<2689> and the singers<7891> were to make<8085> themselves heard<8085> with one<259> voice<6963> to praise<1984> and to glorify<3034> the LORD<3068>, and when they lifted<7311> up their voice<6963> accompanied by trumpets<2689> and cymbals<4700> and instruments<3627> of music<7892>, and when they praised<1984> the LORD<3068> saying, "He indeed<3588> is good<2896> for His lovingkindness<2617> is everlasting<5769>," then the house<1004>, the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>, was filled<4390> with a cloud<6051>,
14so that the priests<3548> could<3201> not stand<5975> to minister<8334> because<4480><6440> of the cloud<6051>, for the glory<3519> of the LORD<3068> filled<4390> the house<1004> of God<430>.
