4. All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark;
5. and they brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought 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 counted for multitude.
7. The priests brought in the ark of the Lord’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.
