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.
