Verses 1-15
3. The importance of the priests and Levites 15:1-15
David had learned that he had to handle the ark as God had prescribed. He had to relate to God on His terms. His preparation of a tent for the ark in Jerusalem was in harmony with God’s instructions (Exodus 26). David scrupulously observed the Mosaic Law as he brought the ark into Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:13; 1 Chronicles 15:15). His obedience was worship, but David also provided for other expressions of worship: namely, music and praise.
"One cannot . . . understand the theology of Chronicles without understanding the centrality of worship and its formal apparatus to the life of the theocratic people." [Note: Ibid., p. 164.]
