1So all the work that Solomon did for the Lord's house was totally done: and Solomon brought in all the stuff that his dad David dedicated; the silver, the gold, and all the gear, he put among the treasures of God's house.

2Then Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the tribe heads, the main dudes of the fams of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord outta the city of David, which is Zion.

3So all the guys of Israel gathered to the king for the feast in the seventh month.

4And all the elders of Israel showed up; and the Levites picked up the ark.

5They brought up the ark, and the tabernacle, and all the holy stuff that was in the tabernacle, and the priests and Levites brought it all up.

6Also King Solomon, and all the crew of Israel that were with him before the ark, sacrificed so many sheep and oxen, you couldn’t even count them, no cap.

7And the priests brought in the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its spot, to the oracle of the house, in the most holy place, right under the wings of the cherubims.

8For the cherubims spread their wings over the ark, covering it and the poles above.

9They pulled out the poles of the ark, so the ends were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they weren’t seen outside. And it’s still like that today.

10There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the fam of Israel when they bounced outta Egypt.

11And it happened, when the priests came outta the holy place: (for all the priests that were there were sanctified, and didn’t wait by course:

12Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them from Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, with their kids and bros, dressed in white linen, with cymbals and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, with a hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets:)

13It even happened, as the trumpeters and singers were vibin' as one, to make one sound to praise and thank the Lord; and when they lifted their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and music, and praised the Lord, saying, "For He is good; His mercy endures forever:" the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;

14So the priests couldn’t stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

1Thus 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 instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

4And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

5And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

6Also 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.

7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

8For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

9And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.

10There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

12Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

13It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;

14So 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.
