1 Kings 8:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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

⁸ The poles were so long that the ends of them were seen from the Holy Place before the Holy of Holies, but they were not seen outside; they are there to this day.

⁹ There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt.^(A)
