2 Chronicles 5 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Ark Brought into the House of Yahweh

1 Thus all ^H3605 the work ^H4399 that Solomon ^H8010 did ^H6213 for the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 was finished ^H7999. And Solomon ^H8010 brought ^H935 in ^H935 the [fn]things set ^H6944 apart ^H6944 as ^H6944 holy ^H6944 by his father ^H1 David ^H1732, even the silver ^H3701 and the gold ^H2091 and all ^H3605 the utensils ^H3627, and he put ^H5414 them in the treasuries ^H214 of the house ^H1004 of God ^H430.

2 Then ^H227 Solomon ^H8010 assembled ^H6950 the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478 and all ^H3605 the heads ^H7218 of the tribes ^H4294, the leaders ^H5387 of the fathers’ ^H1 households of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 to Jerusalem ^H3389, to bring ^H5927 up ^H5927 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of Yahweh ^H3068 from the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732, which ^H1931 is Zion ^H6726.

3 And all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 assembled ^H6950 themselves to the king ^H4428 at the feast ^H2282, that is in the seventh ^H7637 month ^H2320. 4 Then all ^H3605 the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478 came ^H935, and the Levites ^H3881 carried ^H5375 the ark ^H727. 5 And they brought ^H5927 up ^H5927 the ark ^H727 and the tent ^H168 of meeting ^H4150 and all ^H3605 the holy ^H6944 utensils ^H3627 which ^H834 were in the tent ^H168; the Levitical ^H3881 priests ^H3548 brought ^H5927 them up ^H5927. 6 And King ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 and all ^H3605 the congregation ^H5712 of Israel ^H3478 who congregated ^H3259 with him before ^H6440 the ark ^H727, were sacrificing ^H2076 [fn]so many ^H7230 sheep ^H6629 and oxen ^H1241 that they could not be counted ^H5608 or numbered ^H4487. 7 Then the priests ^H3548 brought ^H935 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of Yahweh ^H3068 to its place ^H4725, into the inner ^H1687 sanctuary ^H1687 of the house ^H1004, to the Holy ^H6944 of Holies ^H6944, under ^H8478 the wings ^H3671 of the cherubim ^H3742. 8 And the cherubim ^H3742 spread ^H6566 their wings ^H3671 over ^H5921 the place ^H4725 of the ark ^H727, and the cherubim ^H3742 made ^H3680 a ^H3680 covering ^H3680 over ^H5921 the ark ^H727 and its poles ^H905 from above ^H4480 H4605. 9 But the poles ^H905 were so long ^H748 that the ends ^H7218 of the poles ^H905 of the ark ^H727 could be seen ^H7200 before ^H6440 the inner ^H1687 sanctuary ^H1687, but they could not be seen ^H7200 outside ^H2351; and [fn]they are there ^H8033 to this ^H2088 day ^H3117. 10 There ^H369 was ^H369 nothing ^H369 in the ark ^H727 except ^H7534 the two ^H8147 tablets ^H3871 which ^H834 Moses ^H4872 put ^H5414 there at Horeb ^H2722, where ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 cut ^H3772 a covenant with the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, when they came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Egypt ^H4714.

The Glory of Yahweh Fills His House

11 Now it happened that when the priests ^H3548 came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the holy ^H6944 place (for all ^H3605 the priests ^H3548 who were ^H4672 present ^H4672 had sanctified ^H6942 themselves, without ^H369 regard ^H8104 to divisions ^H4256),

12 and all ^H3605 the Levitical ^H3881 singers ^H7891, Asaph ^H623, Heman ^H1968, Jeduthun ^H3038, and their sons ^H1121 and relatives ^H251, clothed ^H3847 in fine ^H948 linen ^H948, with cymbals ^H4700, harps ^H5035, and lyres ^H3658, standing ^H5975 east ^H4217 of the altar ^H4196, and with them 120 ^H3967 H6242 priests ^H3548 blowing ^H2690 trumpets ^H2689 13 in unison ^H259 when the trumpeters ^H2689 and the singers ^H7891 were to make ^H8085 themselves heard ^H8085 with one ^H259 voice ^H6963 to praise ^H1984 and to give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to Yahweh ^H3068, and when they lifted ^H7311 up ^H7311 their voice ^H6963 accompanied by trumpets ^H2689 and cymbals ^H4700 and instruments ^H3627 of music ^H7892, and when they praised ^H1984 Yahweh ^H3068 saying, “He indeed ^H3588 is good ^H2896 for His lovingkindness ^H2617 endures forever ^H5769,” then the house ^H1004, the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068, was filled ^H4390 with a cloud ^H6051, 14 so that the priests ^H3548 could ^H3201 not stand ^H5975 to minister ^H8334 because ^H4480 H6440 of the cloud ^H6051, for the glory ^H3519 of Yahweh ^H3068 filled ^H4390 the house ^H1004 of God ^H430.
