3And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.
4All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.
6And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.
7And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.
8For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.
9The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.
