1 Kings 8:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² All the Israelites came together to where King Solomon was. It was at the time of the Feast of Booths. The feast was held in the month of Ethanim. That’s the seventh month.

³ All the elders of Israel arrived. Then the priests picked up the ark and carried it. ⁴ They brought up the ark of the Lord. They also brought up the tent of meeting and all the sacred things in the tent. The priests and Levites carried everything up.
