Contextual Overview

12 Later people told David, "The Lord has blessed the family of Obed Edom and everything he owns, because God's Holy Box is there." So David went and brought God's Holy Box from Obed Edom's house. David was very happy and excited. 13 When the men who carried the Lord 's Holy Box had walked six steps, they stopped and David sacrificed a bull and a fat calf. 14 David was dancing in front of the Lord . He was wearing a linen ephod. 15 David and all the Israelites were excited—they shouted and blew the trumpet as they brought the Lord 's Holy Box into the city. 16 Saul's daughter Michal was looking out the window. While the Lord 's Holy Box was being carried into the city, David was jumping and dancing before the Lord . Michal saw this, and she was upset at David. 17 David put up a tent for the Holy Box. The Israelites put the Lord 's Holy Box in its place under the tent. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord . 18 After David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord All-Powerful. 19 He also gave a share of bread, a raisin cake, and some date bread to every man and woman of Israel. Then all the people went home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they brought in the ark of the Lord,.... Into the city of David, the strong hold of Zion:

and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: or "stretched out"; for this was not the tabernacle of Moses, David pitched any where; that was at this time at Gibeon, where it continued to the time of Solomon, 1 Chronicles 21:29; but this was a curtain, or curtains, which he had stretched out or drawn around for the ark to be pitched in the midst of; and this was not in his own house, for he is afterwards said to go to that, but somewhere in Jerusalem or the city of David:

and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord; that is, before the ark, and that by way of thanksgiving for its being brought safe thither, without any error or mistake on the side of him, the Levites, and the people, and without offence to God, and any mark of his displeasure as before. This must be supposed to be done by priests, and not by David himself, who was no priest.
