Once the priests left the holy place, a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.

He removed from the land any male cultic prostitutes who had managed to survive the reign of his father Asa.

The priests and Levites carried the ark of the Lord, the tent of meeting, and all the holy items in the tent.

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. They have remained there to this very day.
