Compare all
9 aNothing was in the ark bexcept the two tablets of stone which Moses cput there at Horeb, dwhen the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.  
10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud afilled the house of the Lord,  
11 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the aglory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.  
12 aThen Solomon spoke:
“The Lord said He would dwell bin the dark cloud. 
13 aI have surely built You an exalted house,
bAnd a place for You to dwell in forever.”

1 Kings 8:11

The glory of the Lord had filled the house - The cloud, the symbol of the Divine glory and presence, appears to have filled not only the holy of holies, but the whole temple, court and all, and to have become evident to the people; and by this Solomon knew that God had honored the place with his presence, and taken it for his habitation in reference to the people of Israel.
