2 Chronicles 5 · Grade 4
For He Is Good
Read and Think
When the work was finished, Solomon gathered all Israel at the feast in the seventh month. The elders came, and the Levites took up the ark. So many sheep and cattle were offered that they could not be counted.
The priests set the ark in the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim. The ark held only the two tablets Moses put there at Horeb. The priests had sanctified themselves, and the Levite singers stood east of the altar with a hundred twenty trumpeters.
The trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound in praising and thanking Yahweh. They sang that he is good and his loving kindness endures forever. Then a cloud filled the house, and the priests could not stand to minister, for Yahweh's glory filled God's house.
