2 Chronicles 5
King James Version
5 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 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.
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 cherubims:
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.
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, 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 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:)
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;
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.

5 Da Herrens hus stod færdigt, tog Salomon de gaver af sølv og guld og andre kostbarheder, som hans far havde givet til Herren, og placerede det hele i skatkammeret i Guds hus.
Pagtens ark placeres i templet, og Herrens herlighed kommer(A)
2 Nu kaldte Salomon alle Israels stammeoverhoveder, slægtsoverhoveder og øvrige ledere sammen i Jerusalem, så de kunne være med til at føre pagtens ark fra teltet på Zionhøjen, det vil sige Davidsbyen, til den nye tempelbygning. 3 Denne begivenhed faldt sammen med løvhyttefesten i den syvende måned. 4-5 Da alle lederne var ankommet, bar præsterne så arken hen til templet, og levitterne bar teltet og de indviede ting, der hidtil havde haft plads i teltet. 6 Dér foran pagtens ark ofrede Salomon sammen med hele Israels forsamling så meget småkvæg og hornkvæg, at man opgav at tælle, hvor mange der var.
7 Derpå bar præsterne Herrens Pagts Ark ind i det allerhelligste rum og satte den under kerubernes udbredte vinger. 8 De to statuer var jo lavet sådan, at deres vinger mødtes midt i rummet, hvor arken skulle stå. Deres vinger overskyggede derved arken og dens bærestænger. 9 Stængerne ragede så langt ud, at de var synlige fra templets ydre rum; og sådan er det også den dag i dag. 10 I arken lå kun de to tavler, som Moses havde anbragt i den dengang ved Horebs bjerg, da Israels folk havde forladt Egypten, og Herren oprettede sin pagt med dem.
11 Derefter gik præsterne ud af templet igen. De havde alle gennemgået renselsesritualet, uanset hvilket skiftehold de tilhørte. 12 Alle de levitter, som var musikere, det vil sige Asaf, Heman, Jedutun og deres slægtninge, havde taget opstilling øst for alteret og var klædt i fintvævede linnedkjortler. De spillede på deres harper, lyrer og bækkener. De blev akkompagneret af 120 præster, der blæste på trompeter. 13 Sangerne og musikerne forenedes i en mægtig lovsang i taknemmelighed til Herren. Omkvædet på deres sang lød: „Herren er god. Hans trofasthed varer til evig tid.”
Da fyldte en tæt sky templet, 14 så præsterne måtte opgive at udføre deres tjeneste. Det var Herrens herlighed, der nu fyldte Guds hus.
