1 Então juntou Salomão os anciãos de Israel, e a todos os chefes das tribos, e aos príncipes das famílias dos filhos de Israel, ao rei Salomão em Jerusalém para trazer a arca do pacto do SENHOR da cidade de Davi, que é Sião.

2 E se juntaram ao rei Salomão todos os homens de Israel no mês de Etanim, que é o mês sétimo, no dia solene.

3 E vieram todos os anciãos de Israel, e os sacerdotes tomaram a arca.

4 E levaram a arca do SENHOR, e o tabernáculo do testemunho, e todos os vasos sagrados que estavam no tabernáculo; os quais levavam os sacerdotes e levitas.

5 E o rei Salomão, e toda a congregação de Israel que a ele se havia juntado, estavam com ele diante da arca, sacrificando ovelhas e bois, que pela abundância não se podiam contar nem numerar.
