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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 8:9. Save the two tables of stone — Hebrews 9:4.
