殿工告竣

所羅門做完了耶和華殿的一切工,就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來,放在神殿的府庫裡。

舁櫃入殿

那時,所羅門以色列的長老、各支派的首領並以色列的族長招聚到耶路撒冷,要把耶和華的約櫃從大衛城,就是錫安,運上來。 於是以色列眾人在七月節前都聚集到王那裡。 以色列眾長老來到,利未人便抬起約櫃。 祭司利未人將約櫃運上來,又將會幕和會幕的一切聖器具都帶上來。 所羅門王和聚集到他那裡的以色列全會眾,都在約櫃前獻牛羊為祭,多得不可勝數。 祭司將耶和華的約櫃抬進內殿,就是至聖所,放在兩個基路伯的翅膀底下。 基路伯張著翅膀在約櫃之上,遮掩約櫃和抬櫃的槓。 這槓甚長,槓頭在內殿前可以看見,在殿外卻不能看見,直到如今還在那裡。 10 約櫃裡唯有兩塊石版,就是以色列人出埃及後,耶和華與他們立約的時候,摩西何烈山所放的,除此以外,並無別物。

11 當時在那裡所有的祭司都已自潔,並不分班供職。 12 他們出聖所的時候,歌唱的利未亞薩希幔耶杜頓和他們的眾子、眾弟兄都穿細麻布衣服,站在壇的東邊,敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴,同著他們有一百二十個祭司吹號。 13 吹號的、歌唱的都一齊發聲,聲合為一,讚美、感謝耶和華。吹號、敲鈸,用各種樂器,揚聲讚美耶和華說:「耶和華本為善,他的慈愛永遠長存!」那時耶和華的殿有雲充滿, 14 甚至祭司不能站立供職,因為耶和華的榮光充滿了神的殿。

When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished,(A) he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(B)—the silver and gold and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of God’s temple.

The Ark Brought to the Temple(C)

Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. And all the Israelites(E) came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark, and they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests(F) carried them up; and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.

The priests then brought the ark(G) of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim(H) spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles. These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 10 There was nothing in the ark except(I) the two tablets(J) that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.(K) 12 All the Levites who were musicians(L)—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.(M) 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:

“He is good;
    his love endures forever.”(N)

Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud,(O) 14 and the priests could not perform(P) their service because of the cloud,(Q) for the glory(R) of the Lord filled the temple of God.

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 instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the 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.

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

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 told nor numbered for multitude.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.

10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein 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, and did not then wait by course:

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 psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an 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 musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: 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 by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
