Context Reading
9There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 10It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house, 11so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house. 12Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 13I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
