Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:39

Theological / Devotional

At Gibeon. The narrative now turns from the tent in Jerusalem with the ark of the covenant, to the Mosaic tabernacle at Gibeon. The altar of burnt offering (chapter 21:29), together with everything pertaining to the tabernacle except the ark, was kept at Gibeon. The removal of the ark to its new abode in Jerusalem marked the first step toward the establishment of a new national sanctuary. For the time being the priesthood of Zadok at Israel’s ancient sanctuary continued at Gibeon. See on 1 Kings 3:4; 2 Chronicles 1:3-6.
