The ark was hidden by King Josiah in hidden tunnels beneath the Temple Mount (See Chronicles II 35:3). Most of the other vessels of the Temple were destroyed or taken to Rome. Don't worry, they will all be replaced with the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple!

Ark of the Covenant

Posted by: Anonymous, Springfield, MO/USA on Nov 18, 2004

If the Ark was hidden in the Temple Mount in Chronicles II, what did the High Priest pour the blood of the sacrifice on during Yom Kippur?
