*
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place ,
in the inner sanctuary of the house ,
in the most holy place ,
underneath the wings of the cherubim .
*
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark ,
so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles .
*
And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary ;
but they could not be seen from outside ;
and they are there to this day .
*
There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb ,
where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel ,
when they came out of the land of Egypt .
*
And when the priests came out of the holy place ,
a cloud filled the house of the LORD ,
*
so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud ;
for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD .
*
Then Solomon said , "
The LORD has set the sun in the heavens ,
but has said that he would dwell in thick darkness .
*
I have built thee an exalted house ,
a place for thee to dwell in for ever ."
