1 Paralipomenon 16
The ark is placed in the tabernacle. Sacrifice is offered. David blesseth the people, disposeth the offices of Levites, and maketh a psalm of praise to God.
Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo.
So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.
Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
