洪恩在线 - 失踪的约柜<之四>

King David kneels before before the Ark. His son Solomon, would build the First Temple.

Fifty years later, around 1000 B.C., King David brought the Ark to Jerusalem, where its presence helped reinforce the city as the political and religious center of the nation and helped unify the tribes of Israel. David's son, Solomon, built the First Temple, which was completed in 957 B.C., to house the Ark. It was placed within the Holy of Holies, the temple's innermost sanctuary, which could only be entered by the high priest on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Yom Kippur：（希伯来）赎罪日[字面意义：day of atonement]。

Atonement：补偿；赎罪：make atonement for one's fault弥补自己的过错。

五十年后，大约在公元前一千年，大卫王把约柜带到了耶路撒冷，约柜的到来帮助这个城市成为当时国家的政治和宗教中心和统一以色列各部落。大卫王的儿子所罗门，建造了所罗门庙来放置约柜。约柜放置在至圣所内，这是只能在赎罪日时，最高级僧侣才能进入的地方。

King Solomon's Temple

The Bible mentions the Ark for the last time in Jeremiah 3:16, when it is noted that "when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The Ark of the covenant of the Lord neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more." In 586 B.C. the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadrezzar II sacked and destroyed the First Temple, as a prelude to enslaving the Hebrews. But in the detailed biblical list of all the war-booty that the Babylonians took back with them to their homeland, the Ark is not mentioned, which suggests to some that by then it had already disappeared.
saith：<古词，古义> say 的第三人称单数现在式。
enslaving：enslave的现在分词。奴役；征服，制服；使受控制：be enslaved by poverty受贫困奴役。

Nebuchadrezzar II尼布甲尼撒二世（630？-562BC，巴比伦国王[605-562]，侵占叙利亚和巴勒斯坦[605]，攻占并焚毁耶路撒冷[586]，将大批犹太人掳到巴比伦，在位时兴建了巴比伦塔和空中花园）。

公元前586年，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒二世劫掠和摧毁了所罗门庙，作为奴役压迫希伯来人的先兆。但是在《圣经》所列巴比伦人带回自己国家战利品的详细清单中，约柜并没有提到，这意味着在那时约柜已经失踪了。
