Pagkatapos ng templo; ang kaban ay ipinasok.

Ganito natapos ang gawaing ginawa ni Salomon sa bahay ng Panginoon. At ipinasok ni Salomon ang mga bagay na itinalaga ni David na kaniyang ama; sa makatuwid baga'y ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang lahat ng mga kasangkapan, at inilagay sa mga ingatang-yaman ng bahay ng Dios.

(A)Nang magkagayo'y pinulong ni Salomon ang mga matanda ng Israel, at ang lahat na pangulo ng mga lipi, ang mga prinsipe ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng mga anak ni Israel, sa Jerusalem, upang iahon ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon mula sa bayan ni David na siyang Sion.

At ang lahat na lalake ng Israel ay nangakipagpulong sa hari sa kapistahan, na sa ikapitong buwan.

At ang lahat ng mga matanda sa Israel ay nagsiparoon; at (B)pinasan ng mga Levita ang kaban;

At kanilang iniahon ang kaban, at ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at ang lahat ng mga banal na kasangkapan na nangasa Tolda; ang mga ito'y iniahon ng mga saserdote na mga (C)Levita.

At ang haring Salomon at ang buong kapisanan ng Israel, na nangakipagpulong sa kaniya, ay nangasa harap ng kaban na nagsisipaghain ng mga tupa at mga baka, na hindi masasaysay o mabibilang man dahil sa karamihan.

At ipinasok ng mga saserdote ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon sa dako niyaon, sa loob ng sanggunian ng bahay, sa kabanalbanalang dako, sa makatuwid baga'y sa ilalim ng mga pakpak ng mga querubin.

Sapagka't ibinubuka ng mga querubin ang kanilang mga pakpak sa dako ng kaban, at ang mga querubin ay nagsisitakip sa kaban, at sa mga pingga niyaon sa ibabaw.

At ang mga pingga ay nangapakahaba na ang mga dulo ng mga pingga ay nakikita (D)mula sa kaban sa harap ng sanggunian: nguni't hindi nangakikita sa labas: at nandoon hanggang sa araw na ito.

10 Walang anomang bagay sa kaban liban sa dalawang tapyas na bato na inilagay ni Moises sa Horeb, nang ang Panginoon ay nakipagtipan sa mga anak ni Israel, nang sila'y magsilabas sa Egipto.

11 At nangyari, nang ang mga saserdote ay magsilabas sa banal na dako (sapagka't ang lahat na saserdote na nangahaharap ay nangagpakabanal, at hindi sinunod ang kanilang (E)pagkakahalihalili;

12 Ang mga Levita rin naman na mga mangaawit, (F)silang lahat, sa makatuwid baga'y si Asaph, si Heman, si Jeduthun, at ang kanilang mga anak, at ang kanilang mga kapatid na (G)may suot na mainam na kayong lino, na may mga simbalo at mga salterio at mga alpa, ay nangakatayo sa dakong sulok na silanganan ng dambana, at kasama nila'y isang daan at dalawang pung saserdote na nagpapatunog ng mga pakakak:)

13 Nangyari nga, nang ang mga nangagpapakakak at mga mangaawit ay nangagkakatugma, upang mangagpatunog ng isang tunog na maririnig sa pagdalangin at pasasalamat sa Panginoon; at nang kanilang itaas ang kanilang tinig na katugma ng mga pakakak, at mga simbalo, at mga panugtog ng tugtugin at magsipuri sa Panginoon, na magsipagsabi, (H)Sapagka't siya'y mabuti; sapagka't ang kaniyang kaawaan ay magpakailan man: na nang magkagayo'y ang bahay ay napuno ng ulap; sa makatuwid bagay ang bahay ng Panginoon,

14 (I)Na anopa't ang mga saserdote ay hindi mangakatayo na mangakapangasiwa dahil sa ulap: sapagka't napuno ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ang bahay ng Dios.

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.

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.

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

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.

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.

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:

For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

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.

The Ark Brought into the Temple

So (A)all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

The Ark Brought into the Temple(B)

(C)Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up (D)from the City of David, which is Zion. (E)Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king (F)at the feast, which was in the seventh month. So all the elders of Israel came, and the (G)Levites took up the ark. Then they brought up the ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up. Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the (H)inner sanctuary of the [a]temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. The poles extended so that the ends of the (I)poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And [b]they are there to this day. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses (J)put there at Horeb, [c]when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had [d]sanctified themselves, without keeping to their (K)divisions), 12 (L)and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, (M)and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets— 13 indeed it came to pass, when 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:

(N)For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,”

that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not [e]continue ministering because of the cloud; (O)for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
