1 Kings 8:6-13

6And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;

7for the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

8And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.

9There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

11and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

12Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13I have indeed built a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
