| 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.
|
| 5:2 |
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.
|
| 5:3 |
Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves
unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
|
| 5:4 |
And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites
took up the ark.
|
| 5:5 |
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.
|
| 5:6 |
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.
|
| 5:7 |
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:
|
| 5:8 |
For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the
place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and
the staves thereof above.
|
| 5:9 |
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.
|
| 5:10 |
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.
|
| 5:11 |
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:
|
| 5:12 |
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:)
|
| 5:13 |
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;
|
| 5:14 |
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.
