1 Kings 8:9

_ _ There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone — Nothing else was ever in the ark, the articles mentioned (Hebrews 9:4) being not in, but by it, being laid in the most holy place before the testimony (Exodus 16:33; Numbers 17:10).

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 8:9

Nothing — Strictly and properly: but in a more large sense, the pot of manna, and Aaron's rod were also in it, Hebrews 9:4, that is, by it, in the most holy place, before the ark of the testimony, where God commanded Moses to put them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
