8 He made also ten tables, and placed| B.C. 101: them in the temple, five on the_right_ Tai side, and five on the_left, And he made a hundred » basons_of gold.
®° Furthermore he made the_court_of the priests, and the great xcourt, and doors for the court, and overlaid the_ doors_of them with brass. j
10 And he set «the sea on the right_ side_of the east end, over against the_ south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and «the shovels, and «the Ybasons, And Huram finished the work that he was_ to_make for king Solomon for the_ house_of x=God. 1
2 To wit, the two pillars, and the bopommels, and the chapiters which were on the_top_of the two pillars, and the two »xwreaths to cover -the_two bo pommels_of the chapiters which were on the_top_of the pillars; .
13 And four hundred *pomegranates on the two »xwreaths: two_rows_of pomegranates on each nexwreath, to!” cover *the_twote pommels_of the chapi- ters which were upon »/ the pillars.

it. and «the shovels,
16 -The pots also, and -the fleshhooks, and all their), instruments, did Huram his father make to xking Solomon for the_-house_ of J the Lorp of bright brass.

3 Wherefore all the_tmen_of Israél assembled_themselves unto the king in the feast ‘which was in the seventh xmonth.
4 And all the_elders_of Israél came ; and the Leyites took_up
5 And they brought_up «the ark, and -the_te tabernacle_of the congregation, and -all the holy vessels that were in the te tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring_up.
6 Also xking Solomon, and all the_ congregation_of Israél xthat were_ assembled unto him before the ark, 4sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could nal be_told nor numbered for multi- tude.
7 And the priests brought_in -the_ ark_of the_coyenant_of Jthe Lorp unto his place, to the_sp oracle_of the house, into the hmost x=holy place, even under the_wings_of the cherubims:
8 For the cherubims +spread_forth their wings over the_place_of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
9 And they drew_out the staves of the ark, that the_ends_of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto xthis «day.
10 There was nothing in the ark save
. the two xtables which Moses put therein
at Horeb, when Jthe Lorp cmade a covenant with the_schildren_of Israél, when they came_out of Egypt.
tl And it came_to_pass, when the priests were_come_out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were xapresent 4 were_sanctified, and did not
"| then wait by course:
22 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of He- man, of Jeduthun, with their sons and
.| their brethren, being arrayed_in white_
linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, +stood at the_east_end_of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with xtrumpets :)
13 Tt came even to_pass, as the trum- petersand xsingers were as one, to make one sound to be_heard in praising and thanking Jthe Lorp; and when they lifted_up their yoice with the trumpets and cymbalsand instruments_ofxmusic, and praised Jthe Lorn, saying, “For He 1s good; for His !mercey endureth for ever:” that then the house was_ filled with a cloud, even the_house_of ‘the Lorn;
14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud : for the_glory_of / the Lorp had_filled -the_ house_of x=God.
THEN said Solomon, “! The Lorp hath said that He would_dwell in
the thick_darkness. 2 But €-have_built a house_of habit-
* jation for Thee, and a place for Thy
dwelling for_ever.” 8 And the king turned his -face, and
y.|blessed -the_whole «congregation _of
Israél: and all the_« congregation_of Israél stood.
