1 Kings 8:6-13

6And the priestsH3548 broughtH935 in the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah unto its placeH4725, into the oracle of the houseH1004, to the most holyH6944 placeH4725, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742. 7For the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 forth their wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimH3742 covered the arkH727 and the staves thereof above. 8And the staves wereH1961 so long that the ends of the staves wereH1961 seenH7200 from the holyH6944 placeH6944 before the oracle; but they wereH1961 not seenH7200 without: and there they are unto this dayH3117. 9There was nothingH369 in the arkH727 save the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 which MosesH4872 put there at HorebH2722, whenH834 Jehovah madeH3772 a covenant with the children of IsraelH3478, whenH834 they cameH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 10And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 wereH1961 come out of the holyH6944 placeH6944, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, 11so that the priestsH3548 could not standH5975 to minister by reason of the cloudH6051; for the gloryH3519 of Jehovah filledH4390 the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

12ThenH227 spake SolomonH8010, Jehovah hath saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thickH6205 darknessH6205. 13I have surely builtH1129 thee a houseH1004 of habitation, a placeH4349 for thee to dwellH3427 in for everH5769.
