2 Chronicles 5 — Context

7

The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its assigned place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the most holy place under the wings of the cherubim.

8

The cherubim’s wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

9

The poles were so long their ends extending out from the ark were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point. They have remained there to this very day.

10

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb.(It was there that the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.)

11

The priests left the holy place. All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented.

12

All the Levites who were musicians, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, wore linen. They played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. They were accompanied by 120 priests who blew trumpets.

13

The trumpeters and musicians played together, praising and giving thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they loudly praised the LORD, singing:“Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!” Then a cloud filled the LORD’s temple.
