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.

5 That completed the work King Solomon did on The Temple of God. He then brought in the holy offerings of his father David, the silver and the gold and the artifacts. He placed them all in the treasury of God’s Temple.
Installing the Chest
2-3 Bringing all this to a climax, Solomon got all the leaders together in Jerusalem—all the chiefs of tribes and the family patriarchs—to move the Chest of the Covenant of God from Zion and install it in The Temple. All the men of Israel assembled before the king on the feast day of the seventh month, the Feast of Booths.
4-6 When all the leaders of Israel were ready, the Levites took up the Chest. They carried the Chest, the Tent of Meeting, and all the sacred things in the Tent used in worship. The priests, all Levites, carried them. King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel were there before the Chest, worshiping and sacrificing huge numbers of sheep and cattle—so many that no one could keep track.
7-10 The priests brought the Chest of the Covenant of God to its place in the Inner Sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim. The outspread wings of the cherubim formed a canopy over the Chest and its poles. The ends of the poles were so long that they stuck out from the entrance of the Inner Sanctuary, but were not noticeable further out—they’re still there today. There was nothing in the Chest itself but the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb where God made a covenant with Israel after bringing them up from Egypt.
11-13 The priests then left the Holy Place. All the priests there were consecrated, regardless of rank or assignment; and all the Levites who were musicians were there—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their families, dressed in their worship robes; the choir and orchestra assembled on the east side of the Altar and were joined by 120 priests blowing trumpets. The choir and trumpets made one voice of praise and thanks to God—orchestra and choir in perfect harmony singing and playing praise to God:
Yes! God is good!
His loyal love goes on forever!
13-14 Then a billowing cloud filled The Temple of God. The priests couldn’t even carry out their duties because of the cloud—the glory of God!—that filled The Temple of God.

5 Nang(A) matapos na ang lahat ng ipinagawa ni Solomon para sa Templo, ipinasok niya sa kabang-yaman ng Templo ang lahat ng bagay na inilaan para dito ng kanyang amang si David: ginto, pilak, mga lalagyan at iba pang kagamitan.
Dinala sa Templo ang Kaban ng Tipan(B)
2 Pinulong(C) ni Solomon sa Jerusalem ang matatandang pinuno ng Israel, ang lahat ng pinuno ng mga lipi at ng mga angkan upang kunin sa Zion, sa Lunsod ni David, ang Kaban ng Tipan. 3 Kaya't nagtipun-tipon ang kalalakihan ng Israel noong ikapitong buwan, Pista ng mga Tolda. 4 Pagdating ng pinuno ng Israel, binuhat ng mga Levita ang Kaban ng Tipan 5 at dinala sa Templo. Ipinasok din ng mga pari at ng mga Levita ang Toldang Tipanan pati ang mga banal na kagamitan nito sa loob ng Templo.
6 Pagkatapos, si Haring Solomon at ang buong kapulungan ng Israel na nagkakatipon sa harap ng kaban ay naghandog ng mga baka at mga tupa na sa dami ay hindi na mabilang. 7 At ipinasok ng mga pari ang Kaban ng Tipan sa Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Inilagay nila ito sa ilalim ng mga pakpak ng mga kerubin. 8 Nakabuka ang mga pakpak ng mga kerubin kaya't nalulukuban ng mga iyon ang Kaban ng Tipan at ang mga pasanan nito. 9 Ang mga pasanan ay lampas sa magkabilang dulo ng Kaban at nakikita ito mula sa Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Ngunit hindi ito nakikita sa labas. Ganito pa rin ang ayos ng lahat ng iyon hanggang ngayon. 10 Walang(D) laman ang Kaban kundi ang dalawang tapyas ng batong inilagay roon ni Moises noong sila'y nasa Sinai.[a] Ito ang mga tapyas ng batong kinasusulatan ng kasunduang ginawa ni Yahweh sa bayang Israel noong umalis sila sa Egipto.
Ang Kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh
11 Ang lahat ng paring naroon, kahit na iba't ibang pangkat ay naghanda ng kani-kanilang sarili sa paglilingkod. At paglabas nila mula sa Templo, 12 nakatayo naman sa gawing silangan ng altar ang mga mang-aawit na Levita: sina Asaf, Heman at Jeduthun, kasama ang kanilang mga anak at mga kapatid. Nakadamit sila ng mamahaling lino at tumutugtog ng pompiyang, alpa at lira, kasaliw ng mga trumpeta na hinihipan ng 120 pari. 13 Ang(E) (F) mga umiihip ng trumpeta at ang mga mang-aawit ay sama-samang nagpupuri at nagpapasalamat kay Yahweh. Sa saliw ng mga trumpeta, pompiyang at iba pang mga instrumento ay inaawit nila ang ganito: “Purihin si Yahweh sa kanyang kabutihan! Pag-ibig niya'y tunay, laging tapat kailanman.” At ang Templo, ang tahanan ng Diyos, ay napuno ng ulap. 14 Kaya't ang mga pari'y hindi nakatagal sa loob upang maglingkod. Napuno ng kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh ang buong Templo.

5 When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished,(A) he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(B)—the silver and gold and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
The Ark Brought to the Temple(C)
2 Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. 3 And all the Israelites(E) came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark, 5 and they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests(F) carried them up; 6 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
7 The priests then brought the ark(G) of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim(H) spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles. 9 These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 10 There was nothing in the ark except(I) the two tablets(J) that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.(K) 12 All the Levites who were musicians(L)—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.(M) 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”(N)
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud,(O) 14 and the priests could not perform(P) their service because of the cloud,(Q) for the glory(R) of the Lord filled the temple of God.
