2 Chronicles 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:3 |
|
Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves
unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:4 |
|
And all the elders of Israel came; and the
Levites took up the ark. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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:) |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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; |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 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. |
