2Ch 5:13

2Ch 5:13indeed it came to pass, when 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 music, and praised the LORD, saying:

“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,”[fn]
that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

2Ch 5:14

2Ch 5:14so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
