 aThus allh3605 the workh4399 that Solomonh8010 performedh6213a for the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 was finishedh7999a. And Solomonh8010 broughth935 in the  1 bthings that Davidh1732 his fatherh1 had dedicatedh6944, even the silverh3701 and the goldh2091 and allh3605 the utensilsh3627, and puth5414 them in the treasuriesh214 of the househ1004 of Godh430.

 aThenh227 Solomonh8010 assembledh6950 to Jerusalemh3389 the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478 and allh3605 the headsh7218 of the tribesh4294, the leadersh5387a of the fathers'h1 households of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478,  bto bringh5927 up the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 out of the cityh5892b of Davidh1732, whichh1931 is Zionh6726.

 aAllh3605 the menh376 of Israelh3478 assembledh6950 themselves to the kingh4428 at  bthe feasth2282, that is in the seventhh7637 monthh2320.

Then allh3605 the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478 cameh935, and  athe Levitesh3881 tookh5375 up the arkh727.

5

They broughth5927 up the arkh727 and the tenth168 of meetingh4150 and allh3605 the holyh6944 utensilsh3627 whichh834 were in the tenth168; the Leviticalh3881 priestsh3548 broughth5927 them up.

6

And Kingh4428 Solomonh8010 and allh3605 the congregationh5712 of Israelh3478 who were assembledh3259 with him beforeh6440 the arkh727, were sacrificingh2076  1so manyh7230 sheeph6629 and oxenh1241 that they could not be countedh5608 or numberedh4487.

7

Then the priestsh3548 broughth935 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 to its placeh4725, into the innerh1687 sanctuaryh1687 of the househ1004, to the holyh6944 of holiesh6944, underh8478 the wingsh3671 of the cherubimh3742.

8

For the cherubimh3742 spreadh6566 their wingsh3671 overh5921 the placeh4725 of the arkh727, so that the cherubimh3742 madeh3680 a coveringh3680 overh5921 the arkh727 and its  1polesh905.

9

The polesh905 were so longh748 that  athe endsh7218 of the polesh905 of the arkh727 could be seenh7200 in fronth6440 of the innerh1687 sanctuaryh1687, but they could not be seenh7200 outsideh2351; and  1they are thereh8033 to thish2088 dayh3117.

10

 aThereh369 was nothingh369 in the arkh727 excepth7534 the twoh8147 tabletsh3871 whichh834 Mosesh4872 puth5414 there at Horebh2722, whereh834 the LORDh3068 madeh3772 a covenant with the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, when they cameh3318 out of Egypth4714.

When the priestsh3548 cameh3318 forthh3318 from the holyh6944 place (for allh3605 the priestsh3548 who were presenth4672 had sanctifiedh6942 themselves, withouth369 regardh8104  ato divisionsh4256),

12

and allh3605 the Leviticalh3881 singersh7891,  aAsaphh623, Hemanh1968, Jeduthunh3038, and their sonsh1121 and kinsmenh251, clothedh3847 in fineh948 linenh948,  bwith cymbalsh4700, harpsh5035b and lyresh3658, standingh5975 easth4217 of the altarh4196, and with them one hundredh3967 and twentyh6242 priestsh3548  cblowingh2690 trumpetsh2689

in unisonh259 when the trumpetersh2689 and the singersh7891 were to makeh8085 themselves heardh8085 with oneh259 voiceh6963 to praiseh1984b and to glorifyh3034 the LORDh3068, and when they liftedh7311 up their voiceh6963  aaccompanied by trumpetsh2689 and cymbalsh4700 and instrumentsh3627 of musich7892a, and when they praisedh1984b the LORDh3068 saying, "  bHe indeedh3588 is goodh2896a for His lovingkindnessh2617a is everlastingh5769," then the househ1004, the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, was filledh4390 with a cloudh6051,

14

so that the priestsh3548 couldh3201 not standh5975 to ministerh8334 becauseh4480h6440 of the cloudh6051, for  athe gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068 filledh4390 the househ1004 of Godh430.
