7 And the priests H3548 brought in H935 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 unto his place, H4725 to the oracle H1687 of the house, H1004 into the most H6944 holy H6944 place, even under the wings H3671 of the cherubims: H3742
8 For the cherubims H3742 spread forth H6566 their wings H3671 over the place H4725 of the ark, H727 and the cherubims H3742 covered H3680 the ark H727 and the staves H905 thereof above. H4605
9 And they drew out H748 the staves H905 of the ark, that the ends H7218 of the staves H905 were seen H7200 from the ark H727 before H6440 the oracle; H1687 but they were not seen H7200 without. H2351 And there it is unto this day. H3117
10 There was nothing in the ark H727 save the two H8147 tables H3871 which Moses H4872 put H5414 therein at Horeb, H2722 when the LORD H3068 made H3772 a covenant with the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 when they came out H3318 of Egypt. H4714

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 5 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
