1 Kings 8:6-9

Context

8:6 The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its assigned 1  place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubs. 8:7 The cherubs’ wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubs overshadowed the ark and its poles. 2  8:8 The poles were so long their ends were visible from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point. 3  They have remained there to this very day. 8:9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb. 4  It was there that 5  the Lord made an agreement with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
