  2. Explication du texte

What kind of tent did David pitch for the ark?

2 Samuel 6:17 (NEG79)

17 Après qu'on eut amené l'arche de l'Eternel, on la mit à sa place au milieu de la tente que David avait dressée pour elle; et David offrit devant l'Eternel des holocaustes et des sacrifices d'actions de grâces.

According to 1 Chronicles 16:39–40 there was a tabernacle erected at Gibeon (see 1 Kings 3:4; 1 Chronicles 21:29; 2 Chronicles 1:3, 2 Chronicles 1:5, 2 Chronicles 1:13).1 David must have erected another, different tent in Jerusalem (see 1 Chronicles 16:1, 1 Chronicles 16:37) to serve as a repository for the ark.2 Presumably this tent would have been constructed according to the same or similar designs as those for the tabernacle.
