1 Kings 8:3-9
3And all the elders of Israel came, and athe priests took up the ark. 4And they brought up the ark of the Lord, bthe tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up. 5And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were with him before the ark, csacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. 6 dThen the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord eto its place in fthe inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. 7For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 8 gAnd the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the Holy Place before hthe inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day. 9There was nothing in the ark except ithe two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb, where jthe Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
