1 Kings 8:8-13
-
8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
-
9 There was nothing in the ark save 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.
-
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
-
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
-
12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
-
13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
