1 Kings 8:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ Then the priests took the Ark into the inner sanctuary of the Temple—the Most Holy Place—and placed it under the wings of the statues of the Guardian Angels. ⁷ The Angels had been constructed in such a manner that their wings spread out over the spot where the Ark would be placed; so now their wings overshadowed the Ark and its carrying poles. ⁸ The poles were so long that they stuck out past the Angels and could be seen from the next room, but not from the outer court; and they remain there to this day.
