Context of 2 Chronicles 5:6
4When all the leaders of Israel had arrived, the Levites picked up the ark. 5They brought the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy utensils in it ⌞to the temple⌟. The priests and the Levites carried them while King Solomon and the whole assembly from Israel were offering countless sheep and cattle sacrifices in front of the ark. 7The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s promise to its place in the inner room of the temple (the most holy place) under the wings of the angels. 8The angels’ outstretched wings were over the place where the ark ⌞rested⌟ so that the angels became a covering above the ark and its poles.
