2 Chronicles 5:8 In-Context

6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy [place], [even] under the wings of the cherubim:

8 For the cherubim spread forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark, and the staffs of it above.

9 And they drew out the staffs [of the ark], that the ends of the staffs were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is to this day.

10 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put [in it] at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
