Context of 2 Chronicles 5:7
5The priests and Levites carried the ark, the tent where God appeared to his people, and all the holy items in the tent. 6Now King Solomon and all the Israelites who had assembled with him went on ahead of the ark and sacrificed more sheep and cattle than could be counted or numbered. The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its assigned place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the most holy place under the wings of the cherubs. 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.
