1 So aall the work that Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
The Ark Brought into the Temple
2 aNow Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up bfrom the City of David, which is Zion.
3 aTherefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king bat the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 So all the elders of Israel came, and the aLevites took up the ark.

6 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
7 Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the ainner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.
9 The poles extended so that the ends of the apoles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And1 they are there to this day.
10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses aput there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

12 aand the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, band with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—
