Ezra
2 Chronicles 5:9KJV·traditional attribution
And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
This agrees with what we had Kg1 8:2, etc., where an account was given of the solemn introduction of the ark into the new-erected temple. 1. There needed no great solemnity for the bringing in of the dedicated things, Ch2 5:1.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed
there it is unto this day--that is, at the time when this history was composed; for after the Babylonish captivity there is no trace of either ark or staves.
Adam Clarke Methodist
They drew out the staves - As the ark was no longer to be carried about, these were unnecessary.
