2 Chronicles 5:2-10

²At that time Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel — all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites — to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

³So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

⁴When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,

⁵and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.

⁶There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

⁷Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

⁸For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

⁹The poles of the ark extended far enough that their ends were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

¹⁰There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
