Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel

on 2 Chronicles 5:2-3

Solomon summons the elders, tribal heads and family chiefs for the feast of the seventh month, Tabernacles, the same assembly 1 Kings 8:1-2 records. The whole leadership of the nation is gathered before a single vessel is moved. The nation, not the king alone, brings the ark up.
