John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 1. The words with which chapter five begins are the same with ( 1 Kings 7:51), and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with ( 1 Kings 8:1-66) on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with ( <19D208> Psalm 132:8-10).

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - The ark was a type of Christ, and, as such, a token of the presence of God. That gracious promise, Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the en of the world, does, in effect, bring the ark into our religiou assemblies, if we by faith and prayer plead that promise; and this we should be most earnest for. When Christ is formed in a soul, the la written in the heart, the ark of the covenant settled there, so that is becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, there is true satisfaction in that soul.
