1 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.
2 ¶ 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. 3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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: 8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 9 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.
As dádivas de Davi são colocadas no templo
1Rs 7.511 Quando Salomão terminou toda a obra que fez para a Casa do Senhor, trouxe as coisas que Davi, seu pai, havia dedicado: a prata, o ouro e todos os utensílios. Salomão pôs tudo isso entre os tesouros da Casa de Deus.
Salomão leva a arca para o templo
1Rs 8.3-112 Então Salomão congregou os anciãos de Israel e todos os chefes das tribos, os chefes das famílias dos israelitas, em Jerusalém, para levarem a arca da aliança do Senhor, da Cidade de Davi, que é Sião, para o templo. 3 Todos os homens de Israel se congregaram junto ao rei na ocasião da festa, que foi no sétimo mês. 4 Quando todos os anciãos de Israel chegaram, os levitas pegaram a arca do Senhor 5 e a levaram para cima, com a tenda do encontro e com os utensílios sagrados que nela havia; os levitas sacerdotes é que levaram tudo isso para o templo.
6 O rei Salomão e toda a congregação de Israel, que se havia reunido diante dele, estavam todos diante da arca, sacrificando ovelhas e bois, que, de tão numerosos, não se podiam contar. 7 Os sacerdotes puseram a arca da aliança do Senhor no seu lugar, no santuário mais interior do templo, que é o Santo dos Santos, debaixo das asas dos querubins. 8 Pois os querubins estendiam as asas sobre o lugar da arca e, do alto, cobriam a arca e os seus cabos. 9 Os cabos sobressaíam tanto, que suas pontas eram vistas do Santo Lugar, diante do Santo dos Santos; porém de fora não podiam ser vistos. 10 E ali estão até o dia de hoje. Nada havia na arca a não ser as duas tábuas que Moisés havia colocado ali em Horebe, quando o Senhor fez aliança com os filhos de Israel, ao saírem do Egito.
11 Quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário — porque todos os sacerdotes, que estavam presentes, se santificaram, sem respeitarem os seus turnos —; 12 e quando todos os levitas que eram cantores, isto é, Asafe, Hemã, Jedutum e os filhos e irmãos deles, vestidos de linho fino, estavam em pé no lado leste do altar, com címbalos, harpas e liras, e com eles até cento e vinte sacerdotes, que tocavam as trombetas; 13 e quando em uníssono, ao mesmo tempo, tocaram as trombetas e cantaram para se fazerem ouvir, para louvar e dar graças ao Senhor; e quando levantaram eles a voz com trombetas, címbalos e outros instrumentos musicais para louvarem o Senhor, porque ele é bom, porque a sua misericórdia dura para sempre, então o templo, a saber, a Casa do Senhor, se encheu de uma nuvem, 14 de maneira que os sacerdotes não puderam permanecer ali para ministrar, por causa da nuvem, porque a glória do Senhor encheu a Casa de Deus.
