1. When all the work was completed on the Lord’S Temple, Solomon brought in everything his father David had set aside for the Temple. Solomon put all the furniture and all the things made of silver and gold into the storage rooms in God’s Temple.
2. Solomon commanded the elders of Israel, the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of families to meet together in Jerusalem. He did this so that they could bring the Box of the Lord’S Agreement up to the Temple from the City of David, that is, Zion.
3. All the men of Israel met together before King Solomon during the special festival in the seventh month of the year.
4. When all the elders of Israel arrived, the Levites lifted the Box of the Agreement
5. and carried it up to the Temple. The priests and the Levites also brought the Meeting Tent and all the holy things that were in it to the Temple in Jerusalem.
6. Then King Solomon and all the Israelites met in front of the Box of the Agreement to offer sheep and bulls as sacrifices. There were so many offerings that no one could count them.
7. Then the priests carried the Box of the Lord’S Agreement to the place that was prepared for it in the Most Holy Place inside the Temple. They put the Box of the Agreement under the wings of the Cherub angels.
8. The Cherub angels stood with their wings spread over the Box of the Agreement and the poles that were used to carry it.
9. The poles are still there today. They were too long for the Most Holy Place, so their ends could be seen by anyone standing in the Holy Place, although no one outside could see them.
