Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 15:3 → Deuteronomy 12:11

Echo

Later text

1 Chronicles 15:3BSB

And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.

Earlier text

Deuteronomy 12:11BSB

then the LORD your God will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you vow to the LORD.

Significance

David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem to bring up the ark "to the place he had prepared for it" (1 Chr 15:3), echoing Deuteronomy 12:11's formula about "the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name." The verb "to bring up" (le-ha'alot) the ark parallels Deuteronomy's language of bringing offerings to the chosen place. By assembling the nation for this transfer, the Chronicler presents David's action as fulfilling the Deuteronomic vision of centralized worship under royal leadership.
