even under the wings of the cherubim.
005:008 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place
of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the poles
of it above.
005:009 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen
from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen outside:
and there it is to this day.
005:010 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put
[there] at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children
of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
005:011 It happened, when the priests were come out of the holy place,
(for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves,
and did not keep their divisions;
005:012 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them,
even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers,
arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments
and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them
one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets;)
005:013 it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one,
to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh;
and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals
and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, [saying], For he
is good; for his loving kindness endures forever; that then
the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh,
005:014 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason
of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
006:001 Then spoke Solomon, Yahweh has said that he would dwell
in the thick darkness.
006:002 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you
to dwell in forever.
006:003 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel:
and all the assembly of Israel stood.
006:004 He said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke
with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands
fulfilled it, saying,
006:005 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land
of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel
to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose
I any man to be prince over my people Israel:
006:006 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there;
and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
006:007 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house
for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
006:008 But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your
heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it
was in your heart:
006:009 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who
shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house
for my name.
