5:3. And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the
seventh month.
5:4. And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up
the ark,
5:5. And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the
tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the
sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.
5:6. And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel and all that were
gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without
number: so great was the multitude of the victims.
5:7. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into
its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies
under the wings of the cherubims:
5:8. So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which
the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.
5:9. Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because
they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man
were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there
unto this day.
5:10. And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which
Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of
Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.
5:11. Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, for all the
priests that could be found there, were sanctified: and as yet at that
time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among
them,
5:12. Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were
under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under
Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen,
sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east
side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding
with trumpets.
5:13. So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice,
and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments,
and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that
when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord
for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was
filled with a cloud.
5:14. Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud.
For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 6
Solomon's blessings and prayer.
6:1. Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a
cloud.
6:2. But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for
ever.
6:3. And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of
Israel for all the multitude stood attentive and he said:
6:4. Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in
deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying:
6:5. From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I
chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in
it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my
people Israel.
6:6. But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose
David to set him over my people Israel.
6:7. And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name
of the Lord the God of Israel,
6:8. The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house
to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:
