lesserot@1Kings:8:1 @ Then did Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the divisions of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.

lesserot@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

lesserot@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

lesserot@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

lesserot@1Kings:8:5 @ And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

lesserot@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto its place, into the debir of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.

lesserot@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.

lesserot@1Kings:8:8 @ And they had made the staves so long, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place in the front of the debir, but they were not seen without; and they have remained there until this day.

lesserot@1Kings:8:9 @ There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses had placed therein at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

lesserot@1Kings:8:10 @ And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord:

lesserot@1Kings:8:11 @ And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

lesserot@1Kings:8:12 @ Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

lesserot@1Kings:8:13 @ I have indeed built a dwellinghouse for thee, a settled place for thy abode for ever.

lesserot@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel was standing;

lesserot@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, when he said,

lesserot@1Kings:8:16 @ Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I did not make choice of any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I made choice of David to be over my people Israel.

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

lesserot@1Kings:8:18 @ But the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:

lesserot@1Kings:8:19 @ Nevertheless, thou shalt not thyself build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

lesserot@1Kings:8:20 @ And the Lord hath fulfilled his word that he hath spoken: and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord hath spoken, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

lesserot@1Kings:8:21 @ And I have assigned there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt.
