gltv - 1Kings:8:1-21

gltv@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

gltv@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel were gathered to king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, at the feast, which is the seventh month.

gltv@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came in, and the priests lifted up the ark,

gltv@1Kings:8:4 @ and brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those the priests and the Levites brought.

gltv@1Kings:8:5 @ And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who had assembled to him were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

gltv@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to the holy place of the house, into the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubs;

gltv@1Kings:8:7 @ for the cherubs were spreading forth their wings to the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered over the ark, and over its staves from above.

gltv@1Kings:8:8 @ And they lengthened the staves, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place on the front of the Holy of Holies, and were not seen outside; and they are there to this day.

gltv@1Kings:8:9 @ Nothing was in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah cut a covenant with the sons of Israel as they went out of the land of Egypt.

gltv@1Kings:8:10 @ And it happened as the priests went out from the Holy of Holies, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

gltv@1Kings:8:11 @ and the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

gltv@1Kings:8:12 @ And Solomon said, Jehovah has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.

gltv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built a house of loftiness for You, a settled place for You to abide in forever.

gltv@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned around his face and blessed the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel was standing.

gltv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of Israel, who spoke by His mouth with my father David, and by his hand has fulfilled it, saying,

gltv@1Kings:8:16 @ From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not chosen a city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house for My name to be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.

gltv@1Kings:8:17 @ And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel;

gltv@1Kings:8:18 @ and Jehovah said to my father David, Because it has been in your heart to build a house for My name, you have done well that it has been in your heart;

gltv@1Kings:8:19 @ only, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall come out from your loins, he shall build the house for My name.

gltv@1Kings:8:20 @ And Jehovah has established His word that He spoke; for I have risen up instead of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spoke, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel;

gltv@1Kings:8:21 @ and set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers when He brought them out from the land of Egypt.
