Context of 2 Chronicles 5:5

3So all the men of Israel were assembled in the king’s presence at the festival; this was in the seventh month. 4All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites picked up the ark. They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and the holy utensils that were in the tent. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who had gathered around him were in front of the ark sacrificing sheep, goats, and cattle that could not be counted or numbered because there were so many. 7The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 5:5

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5The Tent of Meeting: The "Tent of Meeting" is a special tent mentioned in Exodus. It refers to the tabernacle's role (for example, Exodus 33:7). The tabernacle was where God's presence dwelled (for example, Exodus 25:8–9) and where God met with his people through the priests. After the temple was built, the tent was no longer needed.Read the comment
