Significance: David's assembly of Israel to bring the ark to its prepared place (1 Chr 15:3) gives concrete fulfillment to the "place" (maqom) that Deuteronomy 12:21 references—the site "the LORD your God chooses to put His Name." While Deuteronomy 12:21 addresses the practical situation of distance from the central sanctuary, the Chronicler shows David establishing that very center. For the post-exilic audience, this linkage reaffirms Jerusalem's status as the divinely authorized worship site.
