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 所罗门为耶和华的殿所作的一切工程完成了以后， 就把他父亲大卫分别为圣的东西： 金银和一切器皿， 都带来存放在 神殿的库房里。

2 那时， 所罗门把以色列的长老、各支派的首领和以色列人各家族的首领， 都召集到耶路撒冷， 要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城， 就是锡安运上来。

3 于是， 以色列众人在七月的节期来到时， 都聚集到王那里。

4 以色列的众长老来到了， 利未人就抬起约柜。

5 他们把约柜、会幕和会幕里的一切神圣器皿都抬上来； 是祭司和利未人把它们抬上来的。

6 所罗门王和那些聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众， 都在约柜前献上牛羊为祭， 数量无法计算， 不能数点。

7 众祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进放约柜的地方， 就是内殿， 至圣所里面， 放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。

8 基路伯在约柜上面张开翅膀， 遮盖着约柜和抬约柜的杠。

9 那两根杠很长， 在内殿前可以看见约柜那里的杠头， 在殿外却看不见； 直到今日， 那两根杠还在那里。

10 约柜里只有两块石版， 就是以色列人出埃及以后， 耶和华和他们立约的时候， 摩西在何烈山放进去的。

11 众祭司从圣所里出来的时候（因为所有在场的祭司， 不分班次地全都自洁），

12 全体负责歌唱的利未人和亚萨、希幔、耶杜顿， 以及他们的儿子和亲族， 都穿着细麻布的衣服， 站在祭坛的东边， 敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴； 和他们在一起的， 还有一百二十个祭司吹号；

13 吹号的和歌唱的都一致同声地赞美称谢耶和华。他们吹号、敲钹， 用各种乐器高声赞美耶和华， 说： "耶和华是良善的， 他的慈爱永远长存。"那时云彩充满了那殿， 就是耶和华的殿。

14 由于那云彩的缘故， 祭司都不能侍立供职， 因为 神的殿充满了耶和华的荣光。
