2 Chronicles 5:2-4

New International Reader's Version

The Ark Is Brought to the Temple

² Then Solomon sent for the elders of Israel. He told them to come to Jerusalem. They included all the leaders of the tribes. They also included the chiefs of the families of Israel. Solomon wanted them to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Zion. Zion was the City of David. ³ All the Israelites came together to where the king was. It was at the time of the Feast of Booths. The feast was held in the seventh month.

⁴ All the elders of Israel arrived. Then the Levites picked up the ark and carried it.
