who built the temple for the ark of the covenant
Ark of the Covenant During the construction of Solomon's Temple, a special inner room, named Kodesh Hakodashim (Eng. Holy of Holies), was prepared to receive and house the Ark;[52] and when the Temple was dedicated, the Ark—containing the original tablets of the Ten Commandments—was placed therein.[53] When the priests emerged from the holy place after placing the Ark there, the Temple was filled with a cloud, "for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord".[54][55][56]
