Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David made him houses in the city of David,.... With the help of the masons and carpenters Hiram sent him, 1 Chronicles 14:1, the royal palace is meant, with all the apartments in it, which were many and large, as so great a family he had required, and with all the out houses to it necessary for his servants, and their offices:

and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent; see 2 Samuel 6:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And pitched for it a tent - The old “tent” or “tabernacle” was still in existence at Gibeon 1 Chronicles 16:39; 2 Chronicles 1:3; but the ark had long been separated from it, and David probably thought that something newer and more magnificent was requisite. He therefore allowed the former tabernacle to keep its place, and had another made and erected.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XV

David prepares to bring home the ark, and musters the Levites,

1-11.

They sanctify themselves, and bear the ark upon their

shoulders, 12-15.

The solemnities observed on the occasion, 16-26.

David dances before the ark, and is despised by his wife

Michal, 27-29.

NOTES ON CHAP. XV
