1 Kings 8:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel that had assembled to be with him stood in front of the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they were neither counted nor inventoried. ⁶ After this, the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord to the place prepared for it, into the inner sanctuary of the Temple, under the wings of the cherubim in the Most Holy Place. ⁷ The wings of the cherubim spread over the resting place for the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles when viewed^[a] from above.
