2 Chronicles 5 And when all the work was finished which Solomon made for the house of the Lord, he brought in the dedications of his father David, the silver and the gold and the vessels, and deposited them in the treasury of the house of the Lord.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when all the work was finished which Solomon made for the house of the Lord, he brought in the dedications of his father David, the silver and the gold and the vessels, and deposited them in the treasury of the house of the Lord. ² Then Solomon assembled at Jerusalem all the elders of Israel and all the chiefs of the tribes, the leaders of the families of the sons of Israel to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion. ³ And when all Israel were assembled before the king at the festival which is in the seventh month, ⁴ all the elders of Israel went, ⁵ and all the Levites took up the ark and the tabernacle of the testimony and all the holy utensils which were in the tabernacle, and the priests and the Levites carried it up. ⁶ And while king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, both the devout, and they who were assembled with them before the ark, were sacrificing beeves and sheep which could not be numbered nor reckoned by reason of their multitude, ⁷ the priests carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place; into the dabir of the house; into the Holy of Holies under the wings of the cherubims: ⁸ for the cherubims had their wings expanded over the place of the ark, and made a covering above, over the ark and over its staves. ⁹ Now the staves projected, and their heads were seen from the Holies towards the front of the dabir, but were not seen from without, and there they have continued to this day. ¹⁰ Now there was nothing in the ark, but the two tables which Moses put therein at Choreb, containing the covenant which the Lord made with the Israelites, when they came out of the land of Egypt. ¹¹ And when the priests were come out of the Holies, [for all the priests then present were hallowed and were not distributed into courses,] ¹² and the Levites, who were singers; all the sons of Asaph, Aiman and Idithun, with their sons and brethren, arrayed in robes of cotton, had taken their stations with cymbals, and with nablas, and with kinyras, over against the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding trumpets, ¹³ so as to join in harmonious concert both with those who led the song and those who made responses to thank and praise the Lord; soon as they raised their voice, with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and said: O praise the Lord, for it is good, For to everlasting his mercy endureth; immediately the house was filled with the cloud of the glory of the Lord, ¹⁴ so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
