1 Kings 8:8-13

⁸and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy place on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto this day.

⁹There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy place, that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

¹¹and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

¹²Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

¹³I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'
