2 Chronicles 5:8-10
International Standard Version
8 The wings of the cherubim extended over where the ark and its carrying poles[a] had been placed, 9 but the poles were long enough for their ends to extend to the front of the inner sanctuary, even though they could not be seen from outside. They remain there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except for the two tablets that Moses had placed there while Israel was encamped[b] at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelis after he had brought them out of the land of Egypt.

And they are[a] there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets (B)that Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 9 The poles extended so that the ends of the (A)poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And [a]they are there to this day. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses (B)put there at Horeb, [b]when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.
