2 Chronicles 5:7-9

New English Translation

⁷ The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its assigned^[a] place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim. ⁸ The cherubim’s wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.^{[b] 9} The poles were so long their ends extending out from the ark were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point.^[c] They have remained there to this very day.
