Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 15:3 → Deuteronomy 12:14

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 12:14BSB

you must offer them only in the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribal territories, and there you shall do all that I command you.

Significance

David's gathering of all Israel to bring the ark to the place he had prepared (1 Chr 15:3) realizes Deuteronomy 12:14's command that offerings must be made "only in the place the LORD will choose." The Chronicler's emphasis on collective national assembly for this event connects Deuteronomy's singular worship site with David's Jerusalem, demonstrating that the king's preparation of the ark's resting place fulfills Mosaic legislation about centralized sacrifice.
