Melachim Aleph 7:51-8:21
Melachim Aleph 7:51 Thus all the work which Shlomo HaMelech had done for the House of יהוה was completed. And Shlomo brought in the kadosh items of his father Dawiḏ: the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the House of יהוה.
Melachim Aleph 8:1 Then Shlomo assembled the elders of Yisra’ĕl and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to Shlomo HaMelech in Yerushalayim, to bring up the aron of the covenant of יהוה from the City of
Melachim Aleph 8:2 And all the men of Yisra’ĕl assembled to Shlomo HaMelech at the festival in the month of Ěythanim, which is the seventh month.
Melachim Aleph 8:3 And all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came, and the kohanim took up the aron,
Melachim Aleph 8:4 and brought up the aron of יהוה, and the Ohel Mo’ed, and all the kadosh utensils that were in the Tent. And the kohanim and the Lĕwites brought them up,
Melachim Aleph 8:5 and Shlomo HaMelech, and all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl who had assembled with him, were with him before the aron, slaughtering so many sheep and cattle, that they could not be counted or numbered.
Melachim Aleph 8:6 And the kohanim brought in the aron of the covenant of יהוה to its place, into the d’biyr bayith, to the kodesh kodesh, under the wings of the cherubim,
Melachim Aleph 8:7 for the cherubim spread two wings over the place of the aron, and the cherubim covered over the aron and its poles.
Melachim Aleph 8:8 And the poles extended so that the ends of the poles were seen from the kodesh, in front of the d’biyr, but they were not seen from outside. And they are there to this day.
Melachim Aleph 8:9 There was naught in the aron, only the two tablets of stone which Moshe put there at Ḥorĕḇ, where יהוה made a covenant with the children of Yisra’ĕl, when they came out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Melachim Aleph 8:10 And it came to be, when the kohanim came out of the kodesh, that the cloud filled the House of יהוה,
Melachim Aleph 8:11 so that the kohanim were unable to stand and perform the service because of the cloud, for the esteem of יהוה filled the House of יהוה.
Melachim Aleph 8:12 And Shlomo said, “יהוה has said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
Melachim Aleph 8:13 I have indeed built You an exalted house, an established place for You to dwell in forever.”
Melachim Aleph 8:14 And the Melech turned around and blessed all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl, while all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl was standing.
Melachim Aleph 8:15 And he said, “Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, who spoke with His mouth to my father Dawiḏ, and with His hand has filled it, saying,
Melachim Aleph 8:16 ‘Since the day I brought My people Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Yisra’ĕl in which to build a house for My Name to be there, but I chose Dawiḏ to be over My people Yisra’ĕl.’
Melachim Aleph 8:17 “And it was in the heart of my father Dawiḏ to build a house for the Name of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.
Melachim Aleph 8:18 “But יהוה said to my father Dawiḏ, ‘Because it has been in your heart to build a house for My Name, you did well that it was in your heart.
Melachim Aleph 8:19 ‘Only, you do not build the house, but your son, who is coming from your loins, he does build the house for My Name.’
Melachim Aleph 8:20 “Now יהוה has established His word which He spoke, and I have been raised up instead of my father Dawiḏ, and sit on the throne of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה promised, and built a house for the Name of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,
Melachim Aleph 8:21 and have appointed there a place for the aron, wherein is the covenant of יהוה which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the
