1 So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.2 Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.3 And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.4 All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.5 They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.6 And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.7 And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.8 For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.9 The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.10 Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.11 Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;12 And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)13 And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,14 So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.

1 Intulit igitur Salomon omnia qu voverat David pater suus : argentum, et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei. 2 Post qu congregavit majores natu Isral, et cunctos principes tribuum, et capita familiarum de filiis Isral in Jerusalem, ut adducerent arcam fderis Domini de civitate David, qu est Sion. 3 Venerunt itaque ad regem omnes viri Isral in die solemni mensis septimi. 4 Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Isral, portaverunt Levit arcam, 5 et intulerunt eam, et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro vasa sanctuarii, qu erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt sacerdotes cum Levitis. 6 Rex autem Salomon, et universus ctus Isral, et omnes qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes et boves absque ullo numero : tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum. 7 Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim : 8 ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis. 9 Vectium autem quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum : si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in prsentem diem. 10 Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi du tabul quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Isral egredientibus ex gypto. 11 Egressis autem sacerdotibus de sanctuario (omnes enim sacerdotes qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt : nec adhuc in illo tempore vices et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat), 12 tam Levit quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad orientalem plagam altaris : et cum eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis. 13 Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus, longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare cpissent et dicere : Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in ternum misericordia ejus : impleretur domus Dei nube, 14 nec possent sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.
