Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 15:1 → Deuteronomy 12:5

Echo

Later text

1 Chronicles 15:1BSB

David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

Earlier text

Deuteronomy 12:5BSB

Instead, you must seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.

Significance

Deuteronomy 12:5 commands Israel to "seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name." David's act of preparing a place (maqom) for the ark in Jerusalem (1 Chr 15:1) is the foundational step toward fulfilling this Mosaic directive. The Chronicler presents David's choice of Jerusalem as divinely guided, connecting the Deuteronomic "place where God puts His Name" (shakan shemo) with the specific site David designated for the ark's permanent resting place.
