ASV_Strong : 2 Chronicles 5
1. Thus all the work[H4399] that Solomon[H8010] wrought[H6213] for the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] was finished[H7999]. And Solomon[H8010] brought[H935] in the things[H6944] that David[H1732] his father[H1] had dedicated[H6944], even the silver[H3701], and the gold[H2091], and all the vessels[H3627], and put[H5414] them in the treasuries[H214] of the house[H1004] of God[H430].
2. Then Solomon[H8010] assembled[H6950] the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478], and all the heads[H7218] of the tribes[H4294], the princes[H5387] of the fathers[H1]' houses of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], unto Jerusalem[H3389], to bring up[H5927] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068] out of the city[H5892] of David[H1732], which is Zion[H6726].
3. And all the men[H376] of Israel[H3478] assembled[H6950] themselves unto the king[H4428] at the feast[H2282], which was in the seventh[H7637] month[H2320].
4. And all the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478] came[H935]: and the Levites[H3881] took up[H5375] the ark[H727];
5. and they brought up[H5927] the ark[H727], and the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], and all the holy[H6944] vessels[H3627] that were in the Tent[H168]; these did the priests[H3548] the Levites[H3881] bring up[H5927].
6. And king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] and all the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478], that were assembled[H3259] unto him[H6440], were before the ark[H727], sacrificing[H2076] sheep[H6629] and oxen[H1241], that could not be counted[H5608] nor numbered[H4487] for multitude[H7230].
7. And the priests[H3548] brought in[H935] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068] unto its place[H4725], into the oracle[H1687] of the house[H1004], to the most[H6944] holy[H6944] place[H3671], even under the wings of the cherubim[H3742].
8. For the cherubim[H3742] spread forth[H6566] their wings[H3671] over the place[H4725] of the ark[H727], and the cherubim[H3742] covered[H3680] the ark[H727] and the staves[H905] thereof above[H4605].
9. And the staves[H905] were so long[H748] that the ends[H7218] of the staves[H905] were seen[H7200] from the ark[H727] before[H6440] the oracle[H1687]; but they were not seen[H7200] without[H2351]: and there it is unto this day[H3117].
10. There was nothing in the ark[H727] save the two[H8147] tables[H3871] which Moses[H4872] put[H5414] there at Horeb[H2722], when Jehovah[H3068] made[H3772] a covenant with the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], when they came out[H3318] of Egypt[H4714].
11. And it came to pass[H3548], when the priests were come out[H3318] of the holy[H6944] place[H3548], (for all the priests that were present[H4672] had sanctified[H6942] themselves[H8104], and did not keep their courses[H4256];
12. also the Levites[H3881] who were the singers[H7891], all of them[H623], even Asaph, Heman[H1968], Jeduthun[H3038], and their sons[H1121] and their brethren[H251], arrayed[H3847] in fine linen[H948], with cymbals[H4700] and psalteries[H5035] and harps[H3658], stood[H5975] at the east end[H4217] of the altar[H4196], and with them a hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242] priests[H3548] sounding[H2690] with trumpets[H2689]😉
13. it came to pass[H2690], when the trumpeters and singers[H7891] were as one[H259], to make one[H259] sound[H6963] to be heard[H8085] in praising[H1984] and thanking[H3034] Jehovah[H3068]; and when they lifted up[H7311] their voice[H6963] with the trumpets[H2689] and cymbals[H4700] and instruments[H3627] of music[H7892], and praised[H1984] Jehovah[H3068], saying[H2896], For he is good; for his lovingkindness[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769]; that then the house[H1004] was filled[H4390] with a cloud[H6051], even the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068],
14. so that the priests[H3548] could[H3201] not stand[H5975] to minister[H8334] by reason[H6440] of the cloud[H6051]: for the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068] filled[H4390] the house[H1004] of God[H430].
