Contextual Overview

12 And it was told to King David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that is his, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with joy. 13 And it happened, when those bearing the ark of Jehovah had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. 14 And David was dancing with all his might before Jehovah. And David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 And David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a ram's horn. 16 And it happened, when the ark of Jehovah had come to the city of David, and Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Jehovah, she despised him in her heart. 17 And they brought the ark of Jehovah in, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it.

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.
