1 Kings 8:9 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 8:9

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.

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.”
