1 Kings 8:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Then ^(A)the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord ^(B)to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Most Holy Place, ^(C)under the wings of the cherubim. ⁷ For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its carrying poles from above. ⁸ But ^(D)the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.
