6The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the poles of it above.
8The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
9There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10It came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,
11so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
12Then spoke Solomon, Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
