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; 2 Sam. 8.11 · 1 Chr. 18.11 and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he
among the treasures of the house of God.

Solomon Brings the Ark
into the Temple |
1 Kgs. 8.1-11 |
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, 2
Sam. 6.12-15 · 1 Chr. 15.25-28 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 cherubim:
|
8 |
for the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim
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, Deut.
10.5 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 Jedu'thun, 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 a 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 music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: 1 Chr. 16.34 · 2 Chr. 7.3 · Ezra 3.11 · Ps. 100.5 ; 106.1 ; 107.1 ; 118.1 ; 136.1 · Jer. 33.11 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. Ex. 40.34, 35
