Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 8:11

8:9 Nothing - Strictly and properly: but in a more large sense,the pot of manna, and Aaron's rod were also in it, #Heb 9:4|,that is, by it, in the most holy place, before the ark of thetestimony, where God commanded Moses to put them.

8:10 The cloud - The usual token of God's glorious presence.Filled - In testimony of his gracious acceptance of this work, and theirservice; and to beget an awe and reverence in them, and in all others,when they approach to God.

8:12 Then spake - Perceiving both priests and people struck withwonder at this darkness, he minds them, that this was no sign of God'sdisfavour, as some might possibly imagine; but a token of his approbation,and special presence among them. Said - He hath declared, that he wouldmanifest his presence with, and dwelling among his people, by a dark cloud,in which he would appear.
