TSK · 1 Chronicles 15:1

So David lived in the fortress and called it the City of David. David built all around it, from the terrace inwards.

So David sent Tamar to the house saying,“Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare some food for him.”

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the ark of the LORD up to the place he had prepared for it.

God Makes a Promise to David When David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet,“Look, I am living in a palace made from cedar, while the ark of the LORD’s covenant is under a tent.”

Solomon Moves the Ark into the Temple Then Solomon convened Israel’s elders– all the leaders of the Israelite tribes and families– in Jerusalem, so they could witness the transferal of the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the City of David(that is, Zion).

He found favor with God and asked that he could find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.
