2 Chronicles 5
Christian Standard Bible
5 So all the work Solomon did for the Lord’s temple was completed. Then Solomon brought the consecrated things of his father David—the silver, the gold, and all the utensils—and put them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
Preparations for the Temple Dedication
2 At that time(A) Solomon assembled at Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads, the ancestral chiefs of the Israelites—in order to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the city of David,(B) that is, Zion. 3 So all the men of Israel were assembled in the king’s presence at the festival; this was in the seventh month.[a]
4 All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites picked up the ark. 5 They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and the holy utensils that were in the tent. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who had gathered around him were in front of the ark sacrificing sheep, goats, and cattle that could not be counted or numbered because there were so many. 7 The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.(C) 8 And the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark so that the cherubim formed a cover above the ark and its poles. 9 The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place[b](D) in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen from outside; they are still there today. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had put in it at Horeb,[c](E) where the Lord had made a covenant with the Israelites when they came out of Egypt.
11 Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions.(F) When the priests came out of the holy place, 12 the Levitical singers dressed in fine linen and carrying cymbals, harps, and lyres(G) were standing east of the altar, and with them were 120 priests blowing trumpets.(H) The Levitical singers were descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun and their sons(I) and relatives. 13 The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice. They raised their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments,(J) in praise to the Lord:
For he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.(K)
The temple, the Lord’s temple, was filled with a cloud.(L) 14 And because of the cloud, the priests were not able to continue ministering, for the glory of the Lord filled God’s temple.(M)

5 (A) Sedan allt det arbete som Salomo lät utföra för Herrens hus var färdigt, förde Salomo dit in vad hans far David hade helgat åt Herren: silvret, guldet och alla kärlen. Detta lade han in i skattkamrarna i Guds hus.
Herrens ark förs in i templet
2 (B) Därefter samlade Salomo de äldste i Israel och alla huvudmännen för stammarna, Israels barns familjeöverhuvuden, till Jerusalem för att hämta Herrens förbundsark upp från Davids stad, det vill säga Sion. 3 Alla Israels män samlades då hos kungen under högtiden i sjunde månaden.[a] 4 När alla de äldste i Israel hade kommit, lyfte leviterna upp arken. 5 De hämtade arken dit upp tillsammans med uppenbarelsetältet och alla heliga föremål som fanns i tältet. De levitiska prästerna hämtade det dit upp. 6 Och kung Salomo stod framför arken tillsammans med Israels hela församling som hade samlats hos honom. Man offrade får och tjurar i sådan mängd att de inte kunde räknas eller uppskattas. 7 Och prästerna bar in Herrens förbundsark till dess plats i husets kor, i det allra heligaste, till platsen under kerubernas vingar.
8 Keruberna höll nämligen sina vingar utbredda över den plats där arken stod, så att arken och dess stänger upptill täcktes av keruberna. 9 Stängerna var så långa att deras ändar som sköt ut från arken kunde ses framför koret, men de var inte synliga längre ut. Arken har blivit kvar där ända till denna dag. 10 (C) I arken fanns inget annat än de två tavlor[b] som Mose hade lagt dit vid Horeb, när Herren slöt förbund med Israels barn efter att de dragit ut ur Egypten.
11 Sedan gick prästerna ut ur helgedomen. Alla präster som fanns där hade helgat sig, oavsett vilken avdelning de tillhörde. 12 (D) Leviterna, alla sångare – Asaf, Heman och Jedutun med sina söner och bröder – stod klädda i vitt linne med cymbaler, lyror och harpor öster om altaret, och tillsammans med dem hundratjugo präster som blåste i trumpeter. 13 (E) När trumpetblåsarna och sångarna samtidigt och samstämmigt stämde upp Herrens lov och pris, och man lät trumpeter, cymbaler och andra instrument ljuda och började lova Herren för att han är god och för att hans nåd är evig – då uppfylldes huset, Herrens hus, av ett moln 14 (F) så att prästerna för molnets skull inte kunde stå där och göra tjänst, eftersom Herrens härlighet uppfyllde Guds hus.

5 When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished,(A) he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(B)—the silver and gold and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
The Ark Brought to the Temple(C)
2 Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. 3 And all the Israelites(E) came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark, 5 and they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests(F) carried them up; 6 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
7 The priests then brought the ark(G) of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim(H) spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles. 9 These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 10 There was nothing in the ark except(I) the two tablets(J) that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.(K) 12 All the Levites who were musicians(L)—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.(M) 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”(N)
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud,(O) 14 and the priests could not perform(P) their service because of the cloud,(Q) for the glory(R) of the Lord filled the temple of God.
