II Chronicles

Chapter 5

1 Thus all the work that Solomon manufactured
for the house of Jehovah/God 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 'Elohiym/Godhead.

2 Then 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 Jehovah/God
out of the city of David,
which is Zion.

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

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

5 And 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.

6 Also king Solomon,
and all the congregation of Israel
who were assembled unto him before the ark,
sacrificed sheep and oxen,
which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

7 And the priests brought in
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah/God
unto his place, to the oracle of the house,
into the Most Holy Place {Holy of Holies},
even under the wings of the cherubim . . . 8
for the cherubim spread forth their wings
over the place of the ark,
and the cherubim covered the ark
and the staves thereof above.

9 And 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 outside.

And there it is unto this day.

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

11 And 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 12
also 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)

13 It came even to pass,
as the trumpeters and singers were as one,
to make one sound to be heard
in praising and thanking Jehovah/God;
and when they lifted up their voice
with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music,
and praised Jehovah/God, saying,
For He is good;
for His mercy endures forever . . .
that then the house was filled with a cloud,
even the house of Jehovah/God; 14
so that the priests could not stand
to minister by reason of the cloud . . .
for the glory of Jehovah/God
had filled the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
