2 S. 6:17• 17Metieron pues el arca de Jehová, y pusiéronla en su lugar en medio de una tienda que David le había tendido: y sacrificó David holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Jehová. (2 S. 6:17)
;
Éx. 26:1‑14• 1Y harás el tabernáculo de diez cortinas de lino torcido, cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí: y harás querubines de obra delicada.
2La longitud de la una cortina de veintiocho codos, y la anchura de la misma cortina de cuatro codos: todas las cortinas tendrán una medida.
3Cinco cortinas estarán juntas la una con la otra, y cinco cortinas unidas la una con la otra.
4Y harás lazadas de cárdeno en la orilla de la una cortina, en el borde, en la juntura: y así harás en la orilla de la postrera cortina en la juntura segunda.
5Cincuenta lazadas harás en la una cortina, y cincuenta lazadas harás en el borde de la cortina que está en la segunda juntura: las lazadas estarán contrapuestas la una á la otra.
6Harás también cincuenta corchetes de oro, con los cuales juntarás las cortinas la una con la otra, y se formará un tabernáculo.
7Harás asimismo cortinas de pelo de cabras para una cubierta sobre el tabernáculo; once cortinas harás.
8La longitud de la una cortina será de treinta codos, y la anchura de la misma cortina de cuatro codos: una medida tendrán las once cortinas.
9Y juntarás las cinco cortinas aparte y las otras seis cortinas separadamente; y doblarás la sexta cortina delante de la faz del tabernáculo.
10Y harás cincuenta lazadas en la orilla de la una cortina, al borde en la juntura, y cincuenta lazadas en la orilla de la segunda cortina en la otra juntura.
11Harás asimismo cincuenta corchetes de alambre, los cuales meterás por las lazadas: y juntarás la tienda, para que se haga una sola cubierta.
12Y el sobrante que resulta en las cortinas de la tienda, la mitad de la una cortina que sobra, quedará á las espaldas del tabernáculo.
13Y un codo de la una parte, y otro codo de la otra que sobra en la longitud de las cortinas de la tienda, cargará sobre los lados del tabernáculo de la una parte y de la otra, para cubrirlo.
14Harás también á la tienda una cubierta de cueros de carneros, teñidos de rojo, y una cubierta de cueros de tejones encima.

Éx. 40:21• 21Y metió el arca en el tabernáculo, y puso el velo de la tienda, y cubrió el arca del testimonio; como Jehová había mandado á Moisés. (Éx. 40:21)

1 Cr. 16:1• 1Así trajeron el arca de Dios, y asentáronla en medio de la tienda que David había tendido para ella: y ofrecieron holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Dios. (1 Cr. 16:1)
;
2 Cr. 1:4• 4Mas David había traído el arca de Dios de Chîriath-jearim al lugar que él le había preparado; porque él le había tendido una tienda en Jerusalem. (2 Cr. 1:4)
 David brings the ark to Jerusalem but not the other furnishings of the tabernacle. He sets up a tent for the ark, but it is not the tent of the wilderness. "They brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it" (2 Sam. 6:17). The tabernacle itself with the altar was found elsewhere. (Communion: 2 Samuel 7 by H.L. Rossier)
 The tabernacle and the altar of sacrifice are at Gibeon when David brings the ark to Mount Zion: 1 Chron. 16:37-40 (Communion: 2 Samuel 7 by H.L. Rossier)
 All this shows us a state of disorder or of great weakness with regard to the worship of the Lord during David's reign. Shiloh was virtually abandoned from the time of the ruin of the priesthood (Psa. 78:60-61); the Lord's house was not yet built at Jerusalem and worship was, so to speak, divided between the ark at Zion and the altar at Gibeon. The other vessels were still in the tabernacle. They are mentioned in 1 Kings 8:4. Gibeon was a city of the sons of Aaron (Josh. 21:17). We would suppose that, as was the case at Nob (1 Sam. 21:6), the furnishings of the sanctuary were kept guarded there by the priests. (Communion: 2 Samuel 7 by H.L. Rossier)
