3When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
“So all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the Ark.”
4and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.
“Then they brought up the Ark of the Lord, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.”
“And they brought up the ark of the Lord and the tabernacle of a congregation and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle. Even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.”
5There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
“King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled with him, were with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.”
“and King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel that was assembled unto him were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.”
6Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
“Then the priest brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place under the wings of the cherubim.”
“Then the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.”
“And the priest brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place into the article of the house to the most holy place even under the wings of the cherubim.”
7For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
“For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the Ark and its poles.”
“For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubims covered the Ark and the staves thereof above.”
8The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
“The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.”
9There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
“Nothing was in the Ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.”
10And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
“And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord”
“And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,”
“And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place that the cloud filled the house of the Lord”
“It happened that when the priests came from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the Lord”
“it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place that the cloud filled the house of the Lord”
11so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
“so that the priest could not continue ministering because of the cloud for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.”
“so that the priest could not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.”
“so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.”
“so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.”
“so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.”
“so that the priests could not stand and minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.”
12Then Solomon declared: "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
“Then Solomon spoke, The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud.”
“Solomon said, The Lord has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.”
“Then Solomon said the Lord has said that he would dwell in a thick cloud.”
13I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever."
“I have surely built you an exalted house and a place for you to dwell in forever.”
14And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
“Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel while all the assembly of Israel was standing.”
15and said: "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
“And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel who spoke with His mouth to my father David and with His hand He has fulfilled it, saying,”
16'Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'
“Since the day that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house that my name might be there. But I chose David to be over my people Israel.”
17Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
“Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
“it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
18But the LORD said to my father David, 'Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
“But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.”
“the Lord said to David, my father, whereas it was in your heart to build a house unto my name, you did well that it was in your heart.”
19Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.'
“Nevertheless, you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for my name.”
20Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
“So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised. And I have built a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel”
21And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."
“and there I have made a place for the ark in which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers when He brought him out of the land of Egypt.”
“I have set there a place for the ark wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
22Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
“and Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and spread forth his hands toward heaven,”
“and he prays, "'Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,”
