Contextual Overview

1 King Solomon called for the elders of Israel, the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families to come to him in Jerusalem. He wanted them to bring the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord from the older part of the city. 2 So all the Israelites came together with King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month. 3 When all the elders of Israel arrived, the priests lifted up the Ark. 4 They carried the Ark of the Lord , the Meeting Tent, and the holy utensils; the priests and the Levites brought them up. 5 King Solomon and all the Israelites gathered before the Ark and sacrificed so many sheep and cattle no one could count them all. 6 Then the priests put the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord in its place inside the Most Holy Place in the Temple, under the wings of the golden creatures. 7 The wings of these creatures were spread out over the place for the Ark, covering it and its carrying poles. 8 The carrying poles were so long that anyone standing in the Holy Place in front of the Most Holy Place could see the ends of the poles, but no one could see them from outside the Holy Place. The poles are still there today. 9 The only things inside the Ark were two stone tablets that Moses had put in the Ark at Mount Sinai. That was where the Lord made his agreement with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt. 10 When the priests left the Holy Place, a cloud filled the Temple of the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There was nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb,.... That is, there were no other writings; or, as Ben Gersom says, no other part of the law, but the decalogue otherwise he observes there were in it Aaron's rod and the pot of manna, according to Hebrews 9:4 though the particle there may be rendered "at", or "with", or "by", Hebrews 9:4- : and so they might be not within it, but in some place on the sides of it, see

Deuteronomy 31:26,

when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt; about two months after.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Comparing this statement with Hebrews 9:4, it would seem that Solomon, now that the sacred chest had reached its final resting-place, and stood in a large chamber surrounded by tables 2 Chronicles 4:8, removed the pot of manna and the rod from the interior, and set them elsewhere in the holy of holies.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 8:9. Save the two tables of stoneHebrews 9:4.
