Context of 2 Chronicles 5:6
4And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark. 5The Levitical priests brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy utensils that were in the Tent. And King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel who gathered together with him before the ark were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. 7Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, to the inner sanctuary of the house, into the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim; 8for the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, making a covering above the ark and its carrying poles.
