² Solomon now summoned to Jerusalem all of the leaders of Israel—the heads of the tribes and clans—for the ceremony of transferring the Ark from the Tabernacle in the^[a] City of David, also known as Zion, to its new home in the Temple. ³ This celebration took place in October at the annual Festival of Tabernacles. ^4-5 As the leaders of Israel watched, the Levites lifted the Ark and carried it out of the Tabernacle, along with all the other sacred vessels.
