1So all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s temple was finished. Solomon brought in the silver, the gold, and all the equipment that his father David had dedicated, and he put them in the treasuries of God’s house.
2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’housesof the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2Then Solomon called together the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes and the leaders of the families of the Israelites in Jerusalem. They met to bring the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant up from the City of David, which is Zion.
3And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
3All the men of Israel gathered around the king for the festival that takes place in the seventh month.
4And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
4When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites picked up the Ark.
5and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up.
5The priests and the Levites carried the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy items that were in it.
6And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6King Solomon and the whole community of Israel gathered with him in front of the Ark. They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that no one could count or keep track of them.
7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7The priests brought the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
8For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8The cherubim spread their wings over the place where the Ark sat, covering both the Ark and its carrying poles.
9And the staves were so long 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.
9The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside. They are still there to this day.
10There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
10There was nothing inside the Ark except for the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Horeb. This was where the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;
11Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of which group they belonged to.
12also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets);
12All the Levites who were singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were dressed in fine linen and played cymbals, harps, and lyres. They were joined by 120 priests blowing trumpets.
13it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,
13The trumpeters and singers joined together as one voice to praise and thank the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the LORD, singing: 'He is good; his faithful love endures forever.' Then a cloud filled the temple of the LORD.
