1 Kings 8:7
"For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark,.... The most holy place where the ark stood, even from wall to wall: and the cherubim

covered the ark, and the staves thereof above; so that neither could be seen.
