Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 14:3

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-7Although the ark was not in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 13:1–14), God blessed David's palace, his children, and his victory over the Philistines.

These blessings eventually motivated David to follow through with his original plan to bring the ark into Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:1–29).Read the comment
