1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the furnishings, put he in the treasuries of the house of God.2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.3 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, to the inner sanctuary of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim:8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles.9 And the poles of the ark extended out, so that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And there it is unto this day.10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, without regard to their divisions.12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and lyres and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)13 It came even to pass, as 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: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;14 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

1 ASSIM se acabou toda a obra, que Salomão fez para a casa do Senhor; então trouxe Salomão as cousas consagradas de seu pai Davi, a prata, e o ouro, e todos os vasos, e pô-los entre os tesouros da casa de Deus.

2 Então Salomão convocou em Jerusalém os anciãos de Israel e todos os chefes das tribos, os príncipes dos pais entre os filhos de Israel, para fazerem subir a arca do concerto do Senhor, da cidade de Davi, que é Sião. 3 E todos o homens de Israel se congregaram ao rei na festa, que foi no sétimo mês. 4 E vieram todos os anciãos de Israel; e os levitas levantaram a arca. 5 E fizeram subir a arca, e a tenda da congregação, com todos os vasos sagrados, que estavam na tenda: os sacerdotes e os levitas fizeram subir. 6 Então o rei Salomão, e toda a congregação de Israel, que se tinha congregado com ele, diante da arca, sacrificaram carneiros, e bois, que se não podiam contar, nem numerar, por causa da sua multidão. 7 Assim trouxeram os sacerdotes a arca do concerto do Senhor ao seu lugar, ao oráculo da casa, à santidade das santidades, até debaixo das asas dos querubins. 8 Porque os querubins estendiam ambas as asas sobre o lugar da arca, e os querubins por cima cobriam a arca e os seus varais. 9 Então os varais sobressaíram, para que as pontas dos varais da arca se vissem perante o oráculo, mas não se vissem de fora: e esteve ali até ao dia de hoje. 10 Na arca não havia senão somente as duas tábuas, que Moisés tinha posto junto a Horebe, quando o Senhor fez concerto com os filhos de Israel saindo eles do Egito. 11 E sucedeu que, saindo os sacerdotes do santuário (porque todos os sacerdotes, que se acharam, se santificaram, sem guardarem as suas turmas. 12 E os levitas, cantores de todos eles, de Asafe, de Hemã, de Jedutum, e seus filhos, e seus irmãos, vestidos de linho fino, com címbalos e com alaúdes e com harpas, estavam em pé para o oriente do altar; e com eles até cento e vinte sacerdotes, que tocavam as trombetas), 13 Eles uniformemente tocavam as trombetas, e cantavam para fazerem ouvir uma só voz, bendizendo e louvando ao Senhor: e, levantando eles a voz com trombetas, e címbalos e outros instrumentos músicos, e bendizendo ao Senhor, porque era bom, porque a sua benignidade durava para sempre, a casa se encheu duma nuvem, a saber, a casa do Senhor. 14 E não podiam os sacerdotes ter-se em pé, para ministrar, por causa da nuvem, porque a glória do Senhor encheu a casa de Deus.
