The
Ark Is Brought into the Temple |
|
|
 |
2 Chronicles 5:1
|
|
Thus all the work that Solomon performed for
the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David
his father had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and all the utensils, and
put them in the treasuries of the house of God. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:2 |
|
Then Solomon assembled to Jerusalem the elders
of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' households
of the sons of Israel, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of
the city of David, which is Zion. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:3 |
|
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to
the king at the feast, that is in the seventh month. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:4 |
|
Then all the elders of Israel came, and the
Levites took up the ark. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:5 |
|
They brought up the ark and the tent of meeting
and all the holy utensils which were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought
them up. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:6 |
|
And King Solomon and all the congregation of
Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing so many sheep
and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:7 |
|
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant
of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the holy of
holies, under the wings of the cherubim. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:8 |
|
For the cherubim spread their wings over the
place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:9 |
|
The poles were so long that the ends of the
poles of the ark could be seen in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could
not be seen outside; and they are there to this day. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:10 |
|
There was nothing in the ark except the two
tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the
sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. |
| |
|
|

|
The
Glory of God Fills the Temple |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:11 |
|
When the priests came forth from the holy place
(for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard
to divisions), |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:12 |
|
and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman,
Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps
and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests
blowing trumpets |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:13 |
|
in unison when the trumpeters and the singers
were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the LORD,
and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments
of music, and when they praised the LORD saying, "He indeed is good for His lovingkindness
is everlasting," then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 5:14 |
|
so that the priests could not stand to minister
because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. |
