Ark's Proper Placement
- The Ark of the Covenant was brought into the temple correctly, by priests and Levites.
- Inside, only the stone tablets remained, not the manna or Aaron's staff.
God's Overwhelming Presence
- God's presence, the Shekinah glory cloud, filled the temple, overwhelming the priests.
- This palpable power prevented them from performing their duties, highlighting God's awe-inspiring nature.
Value of Friendship
