1 Kings 8:7-9

7For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles from above.

8But 1the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

92There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where 3the Lord made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
