솔로몬은 주의 성전 일이 모두 끝나자 그의 아버지 다윗이 주께 거룩하게 구별하여 바친 것들, 곧 은과 금과 모든 기구를 가져다가 하나님의 성전 창고에 넣었다.

언약궤를 성전으로 옮기다

(왕상 8:1-13)

그런 다음 솔로몬은 주의 계약궤를 다윗 성, 곧 시온에서 성전으로 옮기려고 이스라엘의 장로들, 모든 가문의 지도자들과 이스라엘 집안의 우두머리들을 예루살렘으로 모이게 하였다. 그리하여 이스라엘의 모든 남자가 일곱째 달 절기에 왕 앞에 모였다.

이스라엘의 모든 장로가 도착하자 레위 사람들이 궤를 메고, 성막과 그 안에 있는 온갖 거룩한 기구들을 궤와 함께 옮겨 왔다. 레위 사람인 제사장들이 그것들을 옮겼다. 솔로몬 왕과 왕 앞에 모인 온 이스라엘 회중은 이 궤 앞에서 양과 소를 희생제물로 바쳤다. 그런데 그 수가 너무 많아서 일일이 기록하거나 셀 수가 없었다.

그런 다음 제사장들은 주의 계약궤를 제자리, 곧 성전의 안쪽에 있는 성소, 곧 지성소로 옮겨, 그룹 천사들의 날개 아래에 놓았다. 그룹 천사들은 궤가 있는 곳 위로 날개를 펴서 궤와 궤를 운반하는 채들을 덮었다. 그런데 이 채들은 아주 길어서, 지성소 앞에 있는 성소에서도 궤에서 뻗어 나온 그 끝을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 성소 밖에서는 볼 수 없었다. 그 채들은 오늘날까지 그곳에 남아 있다. 10 궤 안에는 호렙[a]에서 모세가 넣어둔 두 돌판 말고는 아무것도 없었다. 호렙은 이스라엘 백성이 이집트에서 나온 뒤에 주께서 그들과 계약을 맺은 곳이다.

11 그런 다음 제사장들이 성소에서 나왔다. 그 자리에 있는 제사장들은 자기들이 속한 갈래가 당번을 설 차례이든 아니든 상관없이, 모두 자신들을 미리 정결하게 하였다. 12 레위 사람들로서 찬양대원들인 아삽과 헤만과 여두둔과 그들의 아들들과 친족들은 제단 동쪽에 섰다. 그들은 모두 모시옷을 입고 심벌즈와 하프와 수금을 연주하였다. 그리고 나팔수들인 제사장 백이십 명도 나팔을 불었다. 13 나팔수들과 찬양대원들이 한 목소리로 주께 찬양과 감사를 드렸다. 그들의 노래 소리가 나팔과 심벌즈와 다른 악기들의 소리와 어우러지는 가운데 그들은 소리 높여 주님을 찬양하였다.

“주님은 선하시다.
그의 한결같은 사랑 영원하시다.”

그때 주의 성전에는 구름이 가득하였다. 14 주의 영광이 주의 성전을 가득 메워 제사장들은 구름 때문에 맡은 일을 할 수 없었다.

  1. 5:10 호렙 ‘시내 산’의 또 다른 이름

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 Is Brought into the Temple

(A)Thus all the work that Solomon performed for the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the [a](B)things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and all the utensils, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

(C)Then Solomon assembled to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel, (D)to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion. (E)All the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at (F)the feast, that is in the seventh month. Then all the elders of Israel came, and (G)the Levites took up the ark. They brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils which were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up. And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing [b]so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubim. For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its [c]poles. The poles were so long that (H)the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and [d]they are there to this day. 10 (I)There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

The Glory of God Fills the Temple

11 When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard (J)to divisions), 12 and all the Levitical singers, (K)Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, (L)with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests (M)blowing trumpets 13 in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice (N)accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, “(O)He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting,” then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for (P)the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
