2 Chronicles
Chapters 5:3-9
New International Version Anglicized
3And all the Israelites came together to the king at the time of the festival 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 and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests carried them up;
6and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
7The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim.
8The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.
9These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today.
