1 Kings 8:8-13

⁸And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.

⁹Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,

¹¹And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

¹²Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.

¹³Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.
