1 Kings 8:4
Ver. 4. And they brought up the ark of the Lord,.... From the city of David to the temple:
and the tabernacle of the congregation; not the tent David made for the ark, though that might be brought also, but the tabernacle of Moses, which had been many years at Gibeon; but now removed to Zion, and from thence to the temple, where it was laid up, as having been a sacred thing; that it might not be put to common or superstitious uses, and to prevent the being of more places than one for worship:
and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle; as the candlestick, shewbread table, incense altar, &c.
even those did the priests and the Levites bring up; some brought one, and some another; the priests brought the ark, and the Levites the vessels.
