(8) For the cherubims spread forth their wings.Rather, And the cherubim were spreading forth wings. Kings has for (k); making the sentence an explanation of the last clause of 2Ch. 5:7.
Covered.Kings has the technical term for the cherubim covering the ark (Exo. 25:20; 1Ch. 28:18). In Hebrew writing, the difference is marked by the transposition of a single letter. Perhaps, therefore, our present reading is a clerical error.
