Where did the angels carry the ark from?

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

1.It was suspended with the angels between the heaven and the earth from the time it left the Israelites. [Al-Ḥasan]

1. It was on the earth. As for where it was in particular, there are two opinions:

(i) It was in the possession of the Amalekites, who had buried it. Ibn ʿAbbās said: "The people of Goliath took the Ark and buried it in the place they would answer the call of nature. They were then afflicted with haemorrhoids and perished. The Ark was then taken by the people of another city, who were also struck by a calamity and perished. This continued until five cities were destroyed. Finally, they placed it on two cows and directed them towards the Israelites, and the angels guided the cows." (ii) It was in the wilderness where they had wandered, where Yūshaʿ had left it, but they did not know its location until the angels brought it to them. [Qatādah]
