The Ark Is Brought into the Temple^(A)

² Solomon ·called for [summoned; assembled; convened] the elders of Israel, the heads of the tribes, and the ·leaders [chiefs] of the ·families [clans] to come to him in Jerusalem. He wanted them to bring the Ark of the ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty; ^LTestimony] with the Lord from ·the older part of the city [^Lthe city of David, that is, Zion]. ³ So all the Israelites came together with the king during the festival in the seventh month [^Cthe Festival of Shelters or Tabernacles or Booths held in early autumn].

⁴ When all the ·elders [men] of Israel arrived, the Levites ·lifted [picked; took] up the Ark.
