2 Chronicles 5
New King James Version
The Ark Brought into the Temple
5 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)
2 (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. 3 (E)Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king (F)at the feast, which was in the seventh month. 4 So all the elders of Israel came, and the (G)Levites took up the ark. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 9 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.

Traslado del arca al templo
5 Así fue terminada toda la obra que Salomón hizo para la casa del Señor. Y Salomón trajo las cosas consagradas por[a] su padre David, es decir, la plata, el oro y todos los utensilios, y los puso en los tesoros de la casa de Dios(A).
2 (B)Entonces Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, a todos los jefes de las tribus y a los principales de las casas paternas[b] de los hijos de Israel, para subir el arca del pacto del Señor de la ciudad de David(C), la cual es Sión. 3 Y se reunieron ante el rey todos los hombres de Israel en la fiesta del[c] mes séptimo(D). 4 Cuando llegaron todos los ancianos de Israel, los levitas alzaron el arca(E); 5 y llevaron[d] el arca y la tienda de reunión y todos los utensilios sagrados que estaban en la tienda; los sacerdotes levitas los llevaron[e]. 6 Y el rey Salomón y toda la congregación de Israel, que estaba reunida con él delante del arca, sacrificaban tantas ovejas y bueyes que no se podían contar ni numerar[f]. 7 Los sacerdotes trajeron el arca del pacto del Señor a su lugar, al santuario interior de la casa, al lugar santísimo, bajo las alas de los querubines. 8 Porque los querubines extendían las alas sobre el lugar del arca, y los querubines cubrían el arca y sus barras por encima. 9 Pero las barras eran tan largas que los extremos de las barras del arca se podían ver delante del santuario interior, mas no se podían ver desde afuera; y allí están[g] hasta hoy(F). 10 En el arca no había más que las dos tablas que Moisés puso allí(G) en Horeb, donde el Señor hizo pacto con los hijos de Israel cuando salieron de Egipto.
11 Y sucedió que cuando los sacerdotes salieron del lugar santo (porque todos los sacerdotes que estaban presentes se habían santificado sin tener en cuenta las clases(H)), 12 todos los levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemán, Jedutún y sus hijos y sus parientes[h](I), vestidos de lino fino, con címbalos, arpas y liras, estaban de pie al oriente del altar, y con ellos ciento veinte sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas(J). 13 Cuando los trompeteros y los cantores, al unísono, se hacían oír a una voz alabando y glorificando al Señor, cuando levantaban sus voces acompañados por trompetas y címbalos e instrumentos de música(K), cuando alababan al Señor diciendo: Ciertamente Él es bueno porque su misericordia es para siempre(L), entonces la casa, la casa del Señor, se llenó de una nube, 14 y los sacerdotes no pudieron quedarse a ministrar a causa de la nube, porque la gloria del Señor llenaba la casa de Dios(M).

King James Version
5 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.
2 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.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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:
8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
9 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.
