2All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.

4They brought up Yahweh’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.

5King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

6The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.

7For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

8The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.
