2 Chronicles 5

1And all the work that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah is finished, and Solomon bringeth in the sanctified things of David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he hath put among the treasures of the house of God.

1So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

2Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David--it <FI>is<Fi> Zion.

2Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

3And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast--it <FI>is<Fi> the seventh month;

3And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

4and all the elders of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the ark,

4All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

5and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that <FI>are<Fi> in the tent; brought them up have the priests, the Levites;

5They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

6and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

6And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

7And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

7And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

8and the cherubs are spreading out wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves, from above;

8For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

9and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen out of the ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen without; and it is there unto this day.

9The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.

10There is nothing in the ark but the two tables that Moses gave in Horeb, where Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.

10Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.

11And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the sanctuary--for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by courses,

11Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;

12and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brethren, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them priests, to a hundred and twenty, blowing with trumpets--

12And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

13yea, it cometh to pass, as one <FI>are<Fi> trumpeters and singers, to sound--one voice--to praise and to give thanks to Jehovah, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to Jehovah, for good, for to the age <FI>is<Fi> His kindness, that the house is filled with a cloud--the house of Jehovah,

13And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

14and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of God.

14So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.
