1 Kings 8:9

²¹You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the covenant that I will give you.

⁴having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

²⁰He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

²I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.” ³So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand. ⁴He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me. ⁵I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me.

¹³He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.

¹⁰There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

¹Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house. ²The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house. ³All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”

²⁷The LORD said to Moses, “Write these words; for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

²⁸He was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

⁸The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

¹⁰The LORD said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the covenant, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may make an end of their complaining against me, that they not die.”
