Context of 2 Chronicles 5:7
5The Levitical priests brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy utensils that were in the Tent. 6And 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. Then 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. 9The poles were so long that the ends of the poles of the ark were visible from the front of the Holy of Holies (inner sanctuary), but were not visible from the outside. They are there to this day.
