King David also makes mention of the Holy of Holies in one of his prayers,
found in Psalm 28 :

"[A Psalm of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not
silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go
down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto
thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle."
Psalms 28:1-2, KJV

There are many other verses in the Old Testament where the term "the holy
place" is used, but they are too many to list here. In the New Testament,
Jesus referred to "the holy place" when He gave His Endtime sermon in
Matthew chapter twenty-four. Whether He meant the general temple area, or
the actual Holy of Holies itself, is a matter of speculation:

"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him
understand:)"
Matthew 24:15, KJV

In the his Epistle to the Hebrews, where Paul explains that Jesus has become
the Final Sacrifice for sin, and our Eternal High Priest and Intercessor
before the Throne of His Father, he also refers back to Old Testament temple
worship, and the Holy of Holies, when he states :

"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he
entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption
for us . . . Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high
priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"
Hebrews 9:12, 25, KJV
