Where in the Bible does it say anything about the Ark of the Covenant?

Answer 1

No one knows. This is not a major topic of concern for Jews. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b). The Talmud (ibid.) states two opinions in this matter. According to one opinion, the Ark of the Covenant was carried off by the Babylonians when they destroyed the First Temple.

According to the second opinion, around 35 years before the First Destruction, King Josiah (Yoshiah) hid the Ark in a secret chamber constructed for this purpose, since it was already apparent that the Temple wouldn't last much longer. The Prophets had been foretelling the destruction of the Temple for some time.
Tradition states that when he built the Temple, King Solomon prepared a hidden shaft and room deep underneath the Temple Mount for just such an eventuality (Maimonides, in the Hilchot Beit HaBechirah 4:1).
The second opinion is the accepted one (Maimonides, ibid, 4:1-2). However, it is possible to account for both opinions, since all of the Temple vessels had duplicates which were made in order to be used in case the original vessel got lost or defiled (Talmud, Hagigah 26b). In addition, there was a second ark which had been used before the Tabernacle was built (see Rashi commentary on Deuteronomy 10:1, based on midrash Tanchuma). We may therefore postulate that the Babylonians carried into captivity an empty duplicate Ark which had been placed in the Holy of Holies after King Josiah concealed the original.

Answer 2

If you are talking about the ancient Ark mentioned in the Torah, You can find recreations of the original ark of the covenant by searching the internet, but there are no images of it from its time.

Answer 3

The Holy Ark was kept in the Holy of Holies, the inner chamber of the Tabernacle; and later in the innermost chamber of the Holy Temple.

Today its location is not known. It was hidden by King Yoshiyah before the First Destruction (Talmud, Yoma 52b). Some of the Sages say that it is still secreted under the Temple Mount, while others say that the Romans carried it off to Rome during the Second Destruction (ibid. 53b). According to the latter opinion, it may still be in the Vatican catacombs; or, as some hold, it may have been captured by the Vandals during the sacking of Rome.

Answer 4

No one knows for sure, despite questionable claims to the contrary. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b).
