Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 15:3 → Deuteronomy 12:18

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 12:18BSB

Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,

Significance

The assembly of all Israel for the ark's transfer (1 Chr 15:3) corresponds to Deuteronomy 12:18's instruction to eat and rejoice "before the LORD your God in the place He will choose." The festive character of the ark's arrival—with singing, sacrifices, and celebration—embodies the joyful worship that Deuteronomy 12:18 envisions at the central sanctuary. David's Jerusalem becomes the concrete location where Deuteronomy's vision of communal rejoicing "before the LORD" takes historical shape.
