Hey yall. Can yall help me with bible verses that show the Israelites portrayed before the arkof the covenant?

I can’t seem to find it . i fund exodus 25:22…there was another one that shows them praying before the ark
 
When the Ark of the Covenant was installed in Solomon’s newly-built Temple, the ceremonies included sacrifices and songs of praise (2 Chron 5:4-13):

4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark, 5 and they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests carried them up; 6 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.

7 The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim … 11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions. 12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:

“He is good; his love endures forever.”

Chad and Jeremy sang, “But that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone”.

Not to discount the Jewish roots of our faith, but instead, I choose to focus on the Ark of the New Covenant, by praying another, New Testament, scripturally sourced prayer:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed is thee amongst all women; blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and in the hour of our death.
 
Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads. (Joshua 7:6)

At the dedication of the Temple, Solomon repeatedly asked God to hear the prayers of those who prayed toward the Temple, which contained the ark of the covenant. (1 Kings 8:29, 30, 35, 38, 42; 2 Chronicles 6:20, 21, 26, 29, 32)

Other verses that mention praying toward the Temple include the following:
But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee. (Psalm 5:7)

I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. (Psalm 138:2)
