This site's exposition

Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke

on 2 Chronicles 6:10-11

Solomon states the fulfillment plainly and reports a place made for the ark, “which contains the covenant of the LORD”. The covenant in the ark is the two tablets alone, the point the Kings exposition draws from 1 Kings 8:9. Chronicles carries the same claim without adding to it.

This site's exposition

provided a place for the ark

The covenant of the LORD in the ark is the two tablets of 5:10. Clarke's Chaldee names them the second tablets, given after the first were broken over the calf made at Horeb. They carried the Ten Words.
