2 Chronicles 5
- 1So 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. The silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
- 2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
- 3Therefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king in the feast who was in the seventh month.
- 4And all the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.
- 5And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy items that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
- 6Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told or numbered, there are so many.
- 7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim:
- 8For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
- 9And they drew out the poles of the ark, that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark before the oracle. But they were not seen without. And there it is to this day.
- 10There was nothing in the ark save the two tablets which Moses put in it at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
- 11And it happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place. For all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course.
- 12Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brothers, being dressed in white linen, having cymbals and lyres and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:
- 13It 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. 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 lasts forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord.
- 14So 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.
