Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. They drew out the staves] As the ark was no longer to be carried about, these were unnecessary.
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.
