Context of 2 Chronicles 5:5

3All the men of Israel gathered around the king at the Festival ⌞of Booths⌟ in the seventh month. 4When all the leaders of Israel had arrived, the Levites picked up the ark. They brought the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy utensils in it ⌞to the temple⌟. The priests and the Levites carried them 6while King Solomon and the whole assembly from Israel were offering countless sheep and cattle sacrifices in front of the ark. 7The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s promise to its place in the inner room of the temple (the most holy place) under the wings of the angels.

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
