* 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 vessels , he put among the treasures of the house of God . * Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes , the princes of the families of the sons of Israel , unto Jerusalem , to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David , which [is ] Zion . * Therefore , all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the solemnity which [was ] in the seventh month . * And all the elders of Israel came , and the Levites took up the ark . * And they brought up the ark and the tabernacle of the testimony and all the vessels of the sanctuary that [were ] in the tabernacle ; these did the priests [and ] the Levites bring up . * 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 . * And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place , to the oracle of the house , into the holy of holies , under the wings of the cherubim . * For the cherubim spread forth [their ] wings over the place of the ark , and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above . * And they drew out the staves so that the ends of the staves of the ark could be seen before the oracle , but they could not be seen from outside . And they were there unto this day . * [There was ] nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put [in it ] at Horeb , with which the LORD had cut a covenant with the sons of Israel when they came out of Egypt . * And when the priests came out of the sanctuary (for all the priests [that were ] present were sanctified [and ] did not [then ] wait by course , * and the Levite singers , all of those of Asaph , those of Heman , and those of Jeduthun , together with their sons and their brethren , [being ] clothed in white linen , having cymbals and psalteries and harps , stood at the east end of the altar , and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets ). * And they sounded the trumpets and sang with one voice , all together as one [man ] praising and thanking the LORD , when they lifted up [their ] voice with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music , when they praised the LORD , [saying ], For [he is ] good , for his mercy [endures ] for ever ; and the house was filled with a cloud , [even ] the house of the LORD , * 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 .:
