1 Kings 8:6-13

6And the priestsH3548 broughtH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 to its placeH4725, into the inner sanctuaryH1687 of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742. 7For the cherubimH3742 spread forthH6566 their two wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimH3742 coveredH5526 the arkH727 and its staffsH905 aboveH4605. 8And they drew outH748 the staffsH905, that the endsH7218 of the staffsH905 were seen outH7200 in the holyH6944 place beforeH6440 the inner sanctuaryH1687, and they were not seenH7200 outsideH2351: and there they are to this dayH3117.12 9There was nothing in the arkH727 exceptH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, which MosesH4872 putH3240 there at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.3 10And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 had come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, 11So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

12Then spokeH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205. 13I have surelyH1129 builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 to dwell inH2073, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427 for everH5769.
