Contextual Overview

1 Thus was perfected, all the work, which Solomon made, for the house of Yahweh, - and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father, the silver, and the gold, and all the utensils, placed he, in the treasuries of the house of God. 2 Then, Solomon called together the elders of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, - to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, the same, is Zion. 3 And all the men of Israel came together unto the king, in the festival, - the same, was the seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came in, - and the Levites bare the ark; 5 and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy utensils, that were in the tent, - the priests the Levites did bring them up. 6 And, King Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel who assembled themselves unto him, before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor could they be counted, for multitude. 7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into the place thereof, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies, - into the place beneath the wings of the cherubim; - 8 for the cherubim were spreading forth two wings, over the place of the ark, - so that the cherubim formed a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, from above. 9 And they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves could be seen out of the ark, in front of the shrine, although they could not be seen on the outside, - and it came to pass that they have remained there - unto this day. 10 There was, nothing in the ark, save only the two tables, which Moses placed therein in Horeb, - when Yahweh made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt.
