What Happened To the Ark of the Covenant?
What happened to the sacred “Ark of the Covenant” (Hebrews 9:4 LSV) that was kept in the Holy of Holies at “the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness” (Acts 7:44 LSB), and later at “God’s Temple” (2 Chronicles 4:19; 2 Chronicles 5:1 NIV) in Jerusalem that was built by Solomon?
The final direct mention of the physical Ark in canonical Scripture is found in 2 Chronicles 35:3, which records King Josiah, in 622 BCE, telling the Levites to put the holy Ark back into the temple built by King Solomon.
