2 Chronicles 5:8-10
New English Translation

8 The cherubim’s wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.[a] 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.[b] They have remained there to this very day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb.[c] (It was there that[d] the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.)
