Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Put the jewels of gold... in a coffer. Instead of jewels the Hebrew word signifies any article of workmanship, and so figures, images wrought in gold. They were to be placed reverentially at the side of the ark, for it had wrought them so great evil that they had learned to look upon it with awe.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) In a coffer by the side thereof.--The reverent awe with which these Philistines treated the Ark, which had, they supposed, wrought them such great evil, presents a strong contrast to the careless curiosity of the men of Beth-shemesh with regard to the same sacred object--a careless curiosity, which was punished, as we so often find in the case of acts of sacrilege, with extreme severity.
