Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 15:1

1 ANd David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent .

A Palace consisting of many Houses or Apartments for his several Wives and Children.

Qu. Why did he not first fetch the tabernacle of Moses from Gibeon, where it now was, that so he might put the Ark into its proper place? Ans. Partly because he had no motion or direction from God concerning the Tabernacle, as he had concerning the Ark: and partly because he thought the Tabernacle was not so necessary for that end as formerly, seing he intended forthwith to set upon the building of the Temple, as appears from chap. 17.
