KJV - 1 Kings 8:1

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Then King Solomon gathered the older leaders of Israel and all the important people from the tribes. They came to help him move the special box of God's agreement from the city called Zion, which was also David's city.
