2 then the king said to Nathan+ the prophet: “See, now, I am dwelling in a house of cedars+ while the ark of the [true] God is dwelling in the middle of tent cloths.”+

3 Then David congregated all Israel at Jerusalem+ to bring the ark+ of Jehovah up to its place that he had prepared for it.

12 and he went on to say to them: “YOU are the heads+ of the fathers of the Levites. Sanctify+ yourselves, YOU and YOUR brothers, and YOU must bring the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel up to the place that* I have prepared for it.

46 He found favor+ in the sight of God and asked for [the privilege of] providing* a habitation+ for the God of Jacob.
