The Ark brought to the Temple
1: Solomon the summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes - the leaders of ancestral families of the Israelite. They were to bring the Ark of the Lord's Covenant to the Temple from its location in the City of David, also known as Zion.
2: So all men od Israel assembled before the King Solomon at the annual Festival of Shelters, which is held in early autumn in the month of Ethanium.
3: When all the elders of Israel arrived, the priest picked up the Ark
4: and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The priests and Levites carried them up,
5: 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.
6: The priests then brought the ark 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.
7: The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its carrying poles.
8: These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today.
9: There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
10: When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD.
11: And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.
(1 Kings 8: 1-11)
