  • 1 Kgs 8:6-9 : 6 The priests brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its assigned place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim. 7 The cherubim’s wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 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. They have remained there to this very day. 9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb. It was there that the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 10 Once the priests left the holy place, a cloud filled the LORD’s temple. 11 The priests could not carry out their duties because of the cloud; the LORD’s glory filled his temple. 12 Then Solomon said,“The LORD has said that he lives in thick darkness. 13 O LORD, truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”
