Book 39 : KETUVIM - 2 CHRONICLES - Chapter 005
05:001
Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of
HaShem was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had
hallowed; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in
the treasuries of the house of G-d
05:002
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the
heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of
Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of HaShem out of the
city of David, which is Zion
05:003
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the
king at the feast, which was in the seventh month
05:004
And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up
the ark
05:005
And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and
all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests and the
Levites bring up
05:006
And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that
were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that
could not be counted nor numbered for multitude
05:007
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of
HaShem unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place,
even under the wings of the cherubim
05:008
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of
the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above
05:009
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves
were seen from the ark before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without;
and there they are unto this day
05:010
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which
Moses put there at Horeb, when HaShem made a covenant with the children of
Israel, when they came out of Egypt
05:011
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the
holy place--for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and
did not keep their courses
05:012
also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even
Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine
linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the
altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets-
05:013
it came even to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were
as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking HaShem; and when
they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of
music, and praised HaShem: 'for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever';
that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of HaShem
05:014
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason
of the cloud; for the glory of HaShem filled the house of G-d
