Context of 2 Chronicles 5:6

4When all Israel's leaders had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Covenant Box. 5The priests and the other Levites carried the Covenant Box, the Tent of Meeting and all the holy things that were in the tent. King Solomon and all the Israelites who were with him walked in front of the Covenant Box. They offered many sheep and bulls as sacrifices. There were more animals than anyone could count. 7Then the priests brought the Lord's Covenant Box to its proper place in the inside room of the temple. That was the Most Holy Place. They put it under the wings of the cherubs. 8The wings of the cherubs touched each other above the place where the Covenant Box was. The cherubs covered the Covenant Box and the poles that the Levites used to carry it.
