2 Chronicles 5 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

2Ch 5:1Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.
2Ch 5:2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2Ch 5:3And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
2Ch 5:4And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
2Ch 5:5And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.
2Ch 5:6And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
2Ch 5:7So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
2Ch 5:8For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.
2Ch 5:9And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.
2Ch 5:10There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

The Glory of God Fills the Temple

2Ch 5:11Now when the priests came out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to their divisions;
2Ch 5:12and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jedu'thun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with a hundred and twenty priests who were trumpeters;
2Ch 5:13and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD, "For he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever," the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,
2Ch 5:14so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
