2 Chronicles 5
World English Bible
5 Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion. 3 So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month. 4 All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark. 5 They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up. 6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 7 The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above. 9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions; 12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets); 13 when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying,
“For he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever!”
then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.

De tempel wordt plechtig in gebruik genomen
5 Zo liet koning Salomo alles maken voor de tempel van de Heer. Toen het af was, bracht hij de voorwerpen binnen die zijn vader David aan de Heer had gegeven. Al het goud en zilver en alle dingen die hij had laten maken, bracht hij in de schatkamers van de tempel van de Heer. 2 Toen liet hij de leiders van Israël, alle stamhoofden en familiehoofden, bij zich in Jeruzalem komen. Met z'n allen gingen ze de kist van het verbond van de Heer ophalen uit de 'Stad van David' (dat is de burcht op Sion). 3 Dat was op het Loofhuttenfeest,[a] dus in de zevende maand. 4 Toen alle leiders van Israël waren gekomen, tilden de Levieten de kist van het verbond op. 5 Ze brachten de kist, de tent van ontmoeting[b] en alle heilige voorwerpen die daarbij hoorden naar de tempel op de berg Sion. 6 Koning Salomo en alle Israëlieten verzamelden zich bij de kist van het verbond. En ze offerden zóveel schapen en geiten dat het niet te tellen was.
7 Daarna brachten de priesters de kist van het verbond van de Heer naar zijn plaats in de achterzaal van de tempel, de allerheiligste kamer. Ze zetten hem neer onder de vleugels van de engelen. 8 Want de engelen spreidden hun vleugels uit over de plek waar de kist kwam te staan. Zo waren de vleugels van de engelen uitgespreid boven de kist en de draagstokken. 9 De draagstokken waren zó lang, dat de uiteinden ervan voorbij de engelen staken en alleen te zien waren voor iemand die vlak bij de ingang van de allerheiligste kamer stond. Maar van verder weg waren de uiteinden niet te zien. Ze zijn daar nu nog steeds. 10 In de kist lagen alleen de twee platte stenen die Mozes op de berg Horeb er in had gelegd. Dat waren de platte stenen van het verbond dat de Heer met de Israëlieten had gesloten toen zij uit Egypte waren vertrokken.
11 Alle priesters deden dienst. Ze hadden zich nu niet aan het schema met de beurten gehouden. 12 En de zangers Asaf, Heman, Jedutun en alle andere zangers stonden in linnen kleren aan de oostkant van het altaar, met cimbalen, harpen en citers. Bij hen stonden 120 priesters die op de trompetten bliezen. 13 Met z'n allen begonnen ze muziek te maken en te zingen. Ze prezen de Heer met het lied: 'Prijs de Heer, want Hij is goed. Zijn liefde duurt voor eeuwig.' Toen kwam er een wolk die de hele tempel van de Heer vulde. 14 De priesters konden door die wolk niet blijven staan om dienst te doen. Want in de wolk was de machtige aanwezigheid van de Heer. De hele tempel werd ermee gevuld.

- 2 Kronieken 5:3 Voor het Loofhuttenfeest werden hutten gebouwd van takken met bladeren: loof. De Joden vierden dit feest om te denken aan de tocht van het volk Israël door de woestijn, toen de mensen in tenten woonden. Het was één van de drie grote feesten voor de Heer. Het werd gevierd op de 15e dag van de zevende maand, aan het eind van de oogsttijd. Lees Leviticus 23:33-36.
- 2 Kronieken 5:5 Koning David had de kist van het verbond al naar Jeruzalem laten brengen en in een tent laten zetten (Lees 2 Samuel 6). Maar de 'tent van het verbond,' waar de kist eigenlijk in hoorde te staan, stond nog steeds in Silo (Lees 1 Samuel 4), waar Jozua hem lang geleden had laten neerzetten. Het is hier niet duidelijk welke van de twee tenten hier verplaatst wordt.

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.
