1 Kings 8:1

The Ark Brought into the Temple

1 Now ^aSolomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, ^bthat they might bring ^cup the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.

2 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the ^afeast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3 So all the elders of Israel came, ^aand the priests took up the ark.

4 Then they brought up the ark of the Lord, ^athe tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

5 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, ^asacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

6 Then the priests ^abrought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to ^bits place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, ^cunder the wings of the cherubim.

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

8 The poles ^aextended so 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 from outside. And they are there to this day.
