The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

2 Then David said, “No one may carry the ^aark of God but the Levites, for ^bthe Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever.”

3 And David ^agathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had prepared for it.

And pitched for it a tent - The old "tent" or "tabernacle" was still in existence at Gibeon I Chronicles 16:39; II Chronicles 1:3; but the ark had long been separated from it, and David probably thought that something newer and more magnificent was requisite. He therefore allowed the former tabernacle to keep its place, and had another made and erected.
