Bible verse
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone 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 the land of Egypt.
1 Kings 8:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 8.
5 There, 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.
6 Then 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.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
8 The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone 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 the land of Egypt.
10 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
11 so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
12 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
13 I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
