2 Chronicles 5: The Glory Fills the House

When the temple was finished, Solomon brought the ark into the most holy place. The Levites carried it, and the priests set it under the wings of the cherubim. The singers and trumpeters praised God together, saying he is good and his loving kindness endures forever. Then a cloud filled the house, for Yahweh's glory filled it.
