1 Kings 8:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.

⁸ And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.

⁹ Now in the ark there was nothing else but 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.
