for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, had been put before the tabernacle of the LORD;
