This phrase highlights the unity and harmony among the Levites, who were responsible for leading worship in the temple. The use of both trumpeters and singers signifies a grand and organized form of worship, reflecting the importance of the occasion—the dedication of Solomon's Temple. This unity in worship is reminiscent of the unity seen in the early church (<a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46-47</a>) and foreshadows the heavenly worship described in <a href="/revelation/5-9.htm">Revelation 5:9-14</a>, where all creation joins in praise.They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: The use of various musical instruments in worship was a common practice in ancient Israel, as seen in <a href="/psalms/150.htm">Psalm 150</a>. Trumpets, often made of silver, were used for signaling and ceremonial purposes (<a href="/numbers/10-2.htm">Numbers 10:2</a>). Cymbals and other instruments added to the celebratory nature of the event. This orchestration of music in worship underscores the joy and reverence due to God, similar to the worship practices established by David (<a href="/1_chronicles/15-16.htm">1 Chronicles 15:16</a>).“For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.” This declaration is a recurring theme in the Psalms (Psalm 136) and emphasizes God's unchanging nature and covenant faithfulness. The phrase "His loving devotion" translates the Hebrew word "chesed," which denotes steadfast love and mercy. This proclamation of God's goodness and enduring love is central to Israel's understanding of their relationship with God and is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, who embodies God's love and faithfulness (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>).And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud The cloud represents the Shekinah glory of God, a visible manifestation of His presence. This phenomenon also occurred during the dedication of the Tabernacle in the wilderness (<a href="/exodus/40-34.htm">Exodus 40:34-35</a>) and signifies God's approval and presence among His people. The filling of the temple with a cloud is a powerful reminder of God's holiness and the sacredness of the temple as His dwelling place. This event foreshadows the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, as described in the New Testament (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-16.htm">1 Corinthians 3:16</a>), where the church becomes the temple of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/trumpeters_and_singers.htm">Trumpeters and Singers</a> These were the Levitical musicians appointed to lead worship in the temple.

"Then the cloud filled the house of the Lord." The LXX. reads, "with the cloud of the glory of the Lord; "the Vulg. simply, "so that the house of God was filled with a cloud." (The Syriac and Arabic omit <a href="/context/2_chronicles/5-12.htm" title="Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brothers, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)">2Chronicles 5:12-13</a>.) The unpointed Heb. text might be rendered, "the house was filled with the cloud of the house of the Lord;" but the Authorised Version is preferable; the phrase, "the house of the Lord," being added as a sort of climax.

The close of ver. 14, as also the parallel (<a href="/1_kings/8-11.htm">1 Kings 8:11</a> ), justifies the supposition that the Septuagint showing the word δόξης, guides us rightly in restoring the word "glory" (כְבוד) here, in place of the word "house" (בֵּית).
