Така се свърши всичката работа, която Соломон направи за Господния дом. И Соломон внесе нещата посветени от баща му Давида, - среброто златото и всичките вещи, - и ги положи в съкровищниците на Божия дом.

Тогава Соломон събра в Ерусалим Израилевите старейшини, и всичките началници на племената, началниците на бащините домове на израилтяните, за да пренесат ковчега на Господния завет от Давидовия град, който е Сион.

И тъй всичките Израилеви мъже се събраха пред царя на празника в седмия месец.

А когато дойдоха всичките Израилеви старейшини, левитите дигнаха ковчега.

Те пренесоха ковчега и шатъра за срещане с всичките свети принадлежности, които бяха в шатъра; свещениците и левитите ги пренесоха.

А цар Соломон и цялото Израилево общество, които се бяха събрали пред него, бяха пред ковчега, и жертвуваха овци и говеда, които по множеството си не можеха да се пресметнат или да се изброят.

Така свещениците внесоха ковчега на Господния завет на мястото му, в светилището на дома, в пресветото място, под крилата на херувимите.

Защото херувимите бяха с крилата си разперени над мястото на ковчега, и херувимите покриваха отгоре ковчега и върлините му.

И върлините се издадоха така, щото се виждаха краищата на върлините издадени от ковчега пред светилището, но извън не се виждаха; и там са до днес.

10 В ковчега нямаше друго освен двете плочи, които Моисей положи там на Хорив, гдето Господ направи завет със израилтяните, когато бяха излезли из Египет.

11 А щом излязоха свещениците из светилището, (защото всичките свещеници, които се намираха там, бяха се осветили без да чакат реда на отредите си;

12 е всичките певци левити - Асаф, Еман, Едутун и синовете им и братята им облечени във висон, и държащи кимвали, псалтири и арфи стояха на изток от олтара, и с тях сто и двадесет свещеника, които свиреха с тръби),

13 и като възгласиха тръбачите и певците заедно, пеещи и славословещи Господа с един глас, и като издигнаха глас с тръби и кимвали и музикални инструменти та хвалеха Господа, защото е благ, защото милостта Му е до века, тогава домът, Господният дом, се изпълни с облак,

14 така щото поради облака свещениците не можаха да застанат за да служат, защото Господната слава изпълни Божия дом.

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.

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.

The Ark Brought into the Temple

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. And all the Israelites assembled before the king at the festival that is in the seventh month. And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites carried the ark. 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. 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. 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. 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. The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; they are there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant[a] with the people of Israel after they came out of Egypt.

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), 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 and twenty priests who were trumpeters, 13 it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers 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 for ever’,

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 the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
