5 (A) Sedan allt det arbete som Salomo lät utföra för Herrens hus var färdigt, förde Salomo dit in vad hans far David hade helgat åt Herren: silvret, guldet och alla kärlen. Detta lade han in i skattkamrarna i Guds hus.
Herrens ark förs in i templet
2 (B) Därefter samlade Salomo de äldste i Israel och alla huvudmännen för stammarna, Israels barns familjeöverhuvuden, till Jerusalem för att hämta Herrens förbundsark upp från Davids stad, det vill säga Sion. 3 Alla Israels män samlades då hos kungen under högtiden i sjunde månaden.[a] 4 När alla de äldste i Israel hade kommit, lyfte leviterna upp arken. 5 De hämtade arken dit upp tillsammans med uppenbarelsetältet och alla heliga föremål som fanns i tältet. De levitiska prästerna hämtade det dit upp. 6 Och kung Salomo stod framför arken tillsammans med Israels hela församling som hade samlats hos honom. Man offrade får och tjurar i sådan mängd att de inte kunde räknas eller uppskattas. 7 Och prästerna bar in Herrens förbundsark till dess plats i husets kor, i det allra heligaste, till platsen under kerubernas vingar.
8 Keruberna höll nämligen sina vingar utbredda över den plats där arken stod, så att arken och dess stänger upptill täcktes av keruberna. 9 Stängerna var så långa att deras ändar som sköt ut från arken kunde ses framför koret, men de var inte synliga längre ut. Arken har blivit kvar där ända till denna dag. 10 (C) I arken fanns inget annat än de två tavlor[b] som Mose hade lagt dit vid Horeb, när Herren slöt förbund med Israels barn efter att de dragit ut ur Egypten.
11 Sedan gick prästerna ut ur helgedomen. Alla präster som fanns där hade helgat sig, oavsett vilken avdelning de tillhörde. 12 (D) Leviterna, alla sångare – Asaf, Heman och Jedutun med sina söner och bröder – stod klädda i vitt linne med cymbaler, lyror och harpor öster om altaret, och tillsammans med dem hundratjugo präster som blåste i trumpeter. 13 (E) När trumpetblåsarna och sångarna samtidigt och samstämmigt stämde upp Herrens lov och pris, och man lät trumpeter, cymbaler och andra instrument ljuda och började lova Herren för att han är god och för att hans nåd är evig – då uppfylldes huset, Herrens hus, av ett moln 14 (F) så att prästerna för molnets skull inte kunde stå där och göra tjänst, eftersom Herrens härlighet uppfyllde Guds hus.

2 Chronicles 5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord was finished. Solomon brought in the things that his father David had dedicated and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.(A)
The Ark Brought into the Temple
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the ancestral houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.(B) 3 And all the Israelites assembled before the king at the festival that is in the seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites carried the ark.(C) 5 So they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be numbered or counted. 7 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles. 9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place[a] in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside; they are there to this day.(D) 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant[b] with the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt.(E)
11 Now when the priests came out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to their divisions),(F) 12 all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kindred, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with one hundred twenty priests who were trumpeters.(G) 13 It was the duty of the trumpeters and singers together to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord,
“For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever,”
the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,(H) 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.(I)
2 Chronicles 5
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.
