Acts7:46

Who found favour. That is, God granted him great him great prosperity, and delivered him from his enemies.

To find a tabernacle. To prepare a permanent dwelling place for the ark and for the visible symbols of the Divine Presence. Hitherto the ark had been kept in the tabernacle, and had been borne about from place to place. David sought to build an house that would be permanent, where the ark might be deposited, 2Sam 7, 1Chr 22:7.

(d) "favour before God" 1Sam 16:1 (e) "desired to find a tabernacle" 1Chr 22:7
