1 Kings 8:9 WEB

⁷  For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the poles of it above.

⁸  The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.

⁹  There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰  It came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,

¹¹  so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
