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. 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. 3 Where­fore all the men of Is­rael as­sem­bled them­selves unto the king in the feast which was in the sev­enth month. 4 And all the el­ders of Is­rael came; and the Levites took up the ark. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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. 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: 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:) 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; 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.
