Its journey to Jerusalem marked a significant moment in Israel's history, as it was being brought to the city that would become the political and spiritual center of the nation. The Ark had been captured by the Philistines and later returned, but it had remained outside of Jerusalem until this event. This act fulfilled David's desire to establish Jerusalem not only as the political capital but also as the religious heart of Israel.and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. David had prepared a special tent for the Ark, signifying the importance of having a designated place for God's presence. This tent was a temporary dwelling, as David later expressed his desire to build a permanent temple, a task that would eventually be completed by his son Solomon. The tent symbolized the transitional period in Israel's worship practices, moving from the tabernacle used during the wilderness wanderings to the future temple. This act of setting the Ark in its place also reflects the order and reverence required in worship, as prescribed in the Law of Moses.Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. Burnt offerings were a form of atonement, symbolizing the worshiper's dedication and submission to God. Peace offerings, on the other hand, were expressions of thanksgiving and fellowship with God. By offering these sacrifices, David was acknowledging God's sovereignty and expressing gratitude for His guidance and blessings. This act of worship was a communal event, involving the entire nation in a celebration of God's presence among them. The offerings also prefigure the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who would fulfill the law and establish a new covenant through His death and resurrection.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The King of Israel who orchestrated the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
