The Rod that Budded

The second item found in the Ark that is listed in Hebrews 9 is Aaron's rod that budded. The story of the rod is found in Numbers 16 and 17. The story is about rebellion against God's appointed leaders. One thing that is evident is that God will not tolerate rebellion. Saul discovered this when he took upon himself what God had told him was the responsibility of Samuel. Samuel gave this word to Saul from the Lord and that was that to obey is more important than sacrifice.
God reminded us through the story in Numbers is that He is the ultimate authority and He has given authority to certain men, men like Aaron.
