Context of 2 Chronicles 5:6
4So all the elders of Israel came and the Levites took up the Ark 5and brought up the Ark and the Tent of Meeting along with all the sacred furnishings that were in the Tent. The Levitical kohanim brought them up. Meanwhile, King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who gathered with him before the Ark, were sacrificing so many sheep and bulls that they could not be counted or numbered. 7The kohanim brought in the Ark of the Covenant of Adonai to its place, into the inner Sanctuary of the House, into the Holy of Holies under the wings of the cheruvim. 8The cheruvim spread their wings over the place of the Ark so that the cheruvim covered the Ark and its poles from above.
