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.
