1 Kings 8:8-9

8 aAnd the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the Holy Place before bthe inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day. 9There was nothing in the ark except cthe two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb, where dthe Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
