Context of 2 Chronicles 5:10

8The cherubs’ wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubs overshadowed the ark and its poles. 9The poles were so long their ends extending out from the ark were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point. They have remained there to this very day. There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb. (It was there that the Lord made an agreement with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.) 11The priests left the holy place. All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented. 12All the Levites who were musicians, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, wore linen. They played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. They were accompanied by 120 priests who blew trumpets.
