Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 8:6

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the Oracle of the house , to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims .

i. e. To that part of the House which is called the Oracle. 1 King. 6. 5, 16, 19, 23. or, as it here follows, the most holy place.

To wit, of Solomon's new-made Cherubims, 1 King. 6. 23, 24, 27. not of the Mosaical Cherubims, which were far less, and unmovably fixed to the Ark, Exod. 37. 7, 8. and therefore together with the Ark were put under the wings of these Cherubims.
