| II Chronicles 35:3
| And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord, your God, and to his people, Israel.
| By whose. Septuagint, "the powerful in Israel, that they might be sanctified to the Lord; and they put," etc. Hebrew, "who instructed all Israel, the holy people of the Lord: Put," etc. (Haydock) --- No more. Hebrew adds, "upon your shoulders;" (Haydock) whence it is inferred, that it had been carried about the cities of Juda, under the impious kings, who would not suffer it in the temple. (Calmet) --- Some believe that it was kept in the house of Sellum, the uncle of Jeremias, and husband of Olda. (St. Jerome, Trad.) (Tirinus)
