2 Chronicles 5 (WEBP)
[1] Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.
[2] Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
[3] So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
[4] All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.
[5] They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.
[6] King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
[7] The 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 wings of the cherubim.
[8] For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
[9] The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.
[10] There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
[11] When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;
[12] also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);
[13] when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
[14] so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.

2 Chronicles 5 (KJVS)
[1] Thus all the work H4399 that Solomon H8010 made H6213 (8804) for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 was finished H7999 (8799): and Solomon H8010 brought H935 (8686) in [all] the things H6944 that David H1732 his father H1 had dedicated H6944; and the silver H3701, and the gold H2091, and all the instruments H3627, put H5414 (8804) he among the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of God H430.
[2] Then Solomon H8010 assembled H6950 (8686) the elders H2205 of Israel H3478, and all the heads H7218 of the tribes H4294, the chief H5387 of the fathers H1 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, unto Jerusalem H3389, to bring up H5927 (8687) the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 out of the city H5892 of David H1732, which [is] Zion H6726.
[3] Wherefore all the men H376 of Israel H3478 assembled H6950 (8735) themselves unto the king H4428 in the feast H2282 which [was] in the seventh H7637 month H2320.
[4] And all the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 (8799); and the Levites H3881 took up H5375 (8799) the ark H727.
[5] And they brought up H5927 (8686) the ark H727, and the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, and all the holy H6944 vessels H3627 that [were] in the tabernacle H168, these did the priests H3548 [and] the Levites H3881 bring up H5927 (8689).
[6] Also king H4428 Solomon H8010, and all the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 that were assembled H3259 (8737) unto him before H6440 the ark H727, sacrificed H2076 (8764) sheep H6629 and oxen H1241, which could not be told H5608 (8735) nor numbered H4487 (8735) for multitude H7230.
[7] And the priests H3548 brought in H935 (8686) the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 unto his place H4725, to the oracle H1687 of the house H1004, into the most H6944 holy H6944 [place, even] under the wings H3671 of the cherubims H3742:
[8] For the cherubims H3742 spread forth H6566 (8802) [their] wings H3671 over the place H4725 of the ark H727, and the cherubims H3742 covered H3680 (8762) the ark H727 and the staves H905 thereof above H4605.
[9] And they drew out H748 (8686) the staves H905 [of the ark], that the ends H7218 of the staves H905 were seen H7200 (8735) from the ark H727 before H6440 the oracle H1687; but they were not seen H7200 (8735) without H2351. And there it is unto this day H3117.
[10] [There was] nothing in the ark H727 save the two H8147 tables H3871 which Moses H4872 put H5414 (8804) [therein] at Horeb H2722, when the LORD H3068 made H3772 (8804) [a covenant] with the children H1121 of Israel H3478, when they came out H3318 (8800) of Egypt H4714.
[11] And it came to pass, when the priests H3548 were come out H3318 (8800) of the holy H6944 [place]: (for all the priests H3548 [that were] present H4672 (8737) were sanctified H6942 (8694), [and] did not [then] wait H8104 (8800) by course H4256:
[12] Also the Levites H3881 [which were] the singers H7891 (8789), all of them of Asaph H623, of Heman H1968, of Jeduthun H3038, with their sons H1121 and their brethren H251, [being] arrayed H3847 (8794) in white linen H948, having cymbals H4700 and psalteries H5035 and harps H3658, stood H5975 (8802) at the east end H4217 of the altar H4196, and with them an hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 priests H3548 sounding H2690 (8688) with trumpets H2689:)
[13] It came even to pass, as the trumpeters H2690 (8764) (8675) H2690 (8764) and singers H7891 (8789) [were] as one H259, to make one H259 sound H6963 to be heard H8085 (8687) in praising H1984 (8763) and thanking H3034 (8687) the LORD H3068; and when they lifted up H7311 (8687) [their] voice H6963 with the trumpets H2689 and cymbals H4700 and instruments H3627 of musick H7892, and praised H1984 (8763) the LORD H3068, [saying], For [he is] good H2896; for his mercy H2617 [endureth] for ever H5769: that [then] the house H1004 was filled H4390 (8804) with a cloud H6051, [even] the house H1004 of the LORD H3068;
[14] So that the priests H3548 could H3201 (8804) not stand H5975 (8800) to minister H8334 (8763) by reason H6440 of the cloud H6051: for the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 had filled H4390 (8804) the house H1004 of God H430.
Young’s Literal Translation
2 Chronicles 5 (YLT)
[1] And all the work that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah is finished, and Solomon bringeth in the sanctified things of David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he hath put among the treasures of the house of God.
[2] Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David-it is Zion.
[3] And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the feast-it is the seventh month;
[4] and all the elders of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the ark,
[5] and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the vessels of the sanctuary that are in the tent; brought them up have the priests, the Levites;
[6] and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.
[7] And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;
[8] and the cherubs are spreading out wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves, from above;
[9] and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen out of the ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen without; and it is there unto this day.
[10] There is nothing in the ark but the two tables that Moses gave in Horeb, where Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.
[11] And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the sanctuary-for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by courses,
[12] and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brethren, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them priests, to a hundred and twenty, blowing with trumpets-
[13] yea, it cometh to pass, as one are trumpeters and singers, to sound-one voice-to praise and to give thanks to Jehovah, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to Jehovah, for good, for to the age is His kindness, that the house is filled with a cloud-the house of Jehovah,
[14] and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of God.
