2 Chronicles 5

5 When all of Solomon’s work on the Lord’s temple was finished, he brought the silver, gold, and all the objects his father David had dedicated and put them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
Solomon dedicates the temple
2 Then Solomon assembled Israel’s elders, all the tribal leaders, and the clan chieftains of Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the chest containing the Lord’s covenant from Zion, David’s City. 3 Everyone in Israel assembled before the king in the seventh month,[a] during the festival. 4 When all Israel’s elders had arrived, the Levites picked up the chest. 5 They brought the chest, the meeting tent, and all the holy objects that were in the tent. The priests and[b] the Levites brought them up, 6 while King Solomon and the entire Israelite assembly that had joined him before the chest sacrificed countless sheep and oxen. 7 The priests brought the chest containing the Lord’s covenant to its designated spot beneath the wings of the winged creatures in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the most holy place. 8 The winged creatures spread their wings over the place where the chest rested, covering the chest and its carrying poles. 9 The carrying poles were so long that their tips could be seen from the holy place[c] in front of the inner sanctuary, though they weren’t visible from outside. They are still there today. 10 Nothing was in the chest except the two stone tablets Moses placed there while at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they left Egypt.
11 Then the priests left the holy place. All the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of their divisions. 12 All the levitical musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their families and relatives—were dressed in fine linen and stood east of the altar with cymbals, harps, and zithers, along with one hundred twenty priests blowing trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord as one. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments, they began to sing, praising the Lord:
Yes, God is good!
Yes, God’s faithful love lasts forever!
Then a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.[d] 14 The priests were unable to carry out their duties on account of the cloud because the Lord’s glory filled God’s temple.

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.

5 Nang(A) matapos na ang lahat ng ipinagawa ni Solomon para sa Templo, ipinasok niya sa kabang-yaman ng Templo ang lahat ng bagay na inilaan para dito ng kanyang amang si David: ginto, pilak, mga lalagyan at iba pang kagamitan.
Dinala sa Templo ang Kaban ng Tipan(B)
2 Pinulong(C) ni Solomon sa Jerusalem ang matatandang pinuno ng Israel, ang lahat ng pinuno ng mga lipi at ng mga angkan upang kunin sa Zion, sa Lunsod ni David, ang Kaban ng Tipan. 3 Kaya't nagtipun-tipon ang kalalakihan ng Israel noong ikapitong buwan, Pista ng mga Tolda. 4 Pagdating ng pinuno ng Israel, binuhat ng mga Levita ang Kaban ng Tipan 5 at dinala sa Templo. Ipinasok din ng mga pari at ng mga Levita ang Toldang Tipanan pati ang mga banal na kagamitan nito sa loob ng Templo.
6 Pagkatapos, si Haring Solomon at ang buong kapulungan ng Israel na nagkakatipon sa harap ng kaban ay naghandog ng mga baka at mga tupa na sa dami ay hindi na mabilang. 7 At ipinasok ng mga pari ang Kaban ng Tipan sa Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Inilagay nila ito sa ilalim ng mga pakpak ng mga kerubin. 8 Nakabuka ang mga pakpak ng mga kerubin kaya't nalulukuban ng mga iyon ang Kaban ng Tipan at ang mga pasanan nito. 9 Ang mga pasanan ay lampas sa magkabilang dulo ng Kaban at nakikita ito mula sa Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Ngunit hindi ito nakikita sa labas. Ganito pa rin ang ayos ng lahat ng iyon hanggang ngayon. 10 Walang(D) laman ang Kaban kundi ang dalawang tapyas ng batong inilagay roon ni Moises noong sila'y nasa Sinai.[a] Ito ang mga tapyas ng batong kinasusulatan ng kasunduang ginawa ni Yahweh sa bayang Israel noong umalis sila sa Egipto.
Ang Kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh
11 Ang lahat ng paring naroon, kahit na iba't ibang pangkat ay naghanda ng kani-kanilang sarili sa paglilingkod. At paglabas nila mula sa Templo, 12 nakatayo naman sa gawing silangan ng altar ang mga mang-aawit na Levita: sina Asaf, Heman at Jeduthun, kasama ang kanilang mga anak at mga kapatid. Nakadamit sila ng mamahaling lino at tumutugtog ng pompiyang, alpa at lira, kasaliw ng mga trumpeta na hinihipan ng 120 pari. 13 Ang(E) (F) mga umiihip ng trumpeta at ang mga mang-aawit ay sama-samang nagpupuri at nagpapasalamat kay Yahweh. Sa saliw ng mga trumpeta, pompiyang at iba pang mga instrumento ay inaawit nila ang ganito: “Purihin si Yahweh sa kanyang kabutihan! Pag-ibig niya'y tunay, laging tapat kailanman.” At ang Templo, ang tahanan ng Diyos, ay napuno ng ulap. 14 Kaya't ang mga pari'y hindi nakatagal sa loob upang maglingkod. Napuno ng kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh ang buong Templo.
