The Koine Bible

And all the work that Solomon made in the house of the Lord was completed, and Solomon brought in the holy things of David his father, the silver and the gold and the vessels, and he put them into the treasury of the house of the Lord.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the rulers of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the city of David, this is Zion.

And all the men of Israel were gathered together to the king at the feast, this is the seventh month.

And all the elders of Israel came, and all the Levites took the ark

And they brought up the ark and the tent of the testimony and all the holy vessels that were in the tent, and the priests and the Levites brought it up.

And King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel and those who were afraid and those who had been gathered of them before the ark, sacrificing calves and sheep, who could not be counted and who could not be reckoned because of the multitude.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the debir of the house, into the holy of holies, underneath the wings of the cherubim

And the cherubim were spreading out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered over the ark and over its poles from above.

And the carrying poles were protruding, and the heads of the carrying poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and they were there until this day.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, which the Lord made with the sons of Israel when they came out from the land of Egypt.

And it came to pass, when the priests went out from the holy place, that all the priests who were found had sanctified themselves; they were not arranged by division according to their order.

and the Levites, the singers, all of them, to the sons of Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons and to their brothers, clothed in robes of byssus, with cymbals and with harps and with lyres, standing opposite the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding the trumpets with the trumpets

And it came to pass, one voice in the blowing of trumpets and in the singing of songs and in the shouting with one voice to give thanks and to praise the Lord; and when they lifted up a voice with trumpets and with cymbals and with instruments of songs, and they were saying, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever; and the house was filled with a cloud of the glory of the Lord.

And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
