The Tabernacle of David was just a tent just like the Tabernacle of Moses erected to serve as a place of worship to the Lord. But while the Tabernacle of Moses remained at Gibeon with the articles of furniture, except the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle of David remained at Mt. Zion. It contained no furniture, only the Ark. Unlike the Tabernacle of which was devided in three parts, (The Outer Court, The Holy Place and the Most Holy Place), which excluded people to enter certain areas we find that the Tabernacle of David was open and it did not exclude people to enter. People flowed in and out of The Tabernacle of David around the clock.

As the Ark entered the City of David, Michal (Saul's daughter) saw the David from a window. When she saw David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart. She became barren afterwards. Then they brought the Ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it on Mt. Zion. David sacrificed the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings; he blessed the people in the Name of the Lord. He then gave a loaf of bread, cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person, both man and women. David appointed Asaph as the chief musician along with other Levites as musicians and singers to minister continually to the Lord. The priests gave thanks to God continually. David's greatest desire comes true. He established a place where God can be worshipped around the clock and people could experience His presence.

Israel's worship was restored. David joined in the celebration. Psalm 105:1-15; Psalm 135 and Psalm 136 tell us the story. My personal opinion is that many other Psalms was written here at the Tabernacle of David. Just think about Psalm 100 and others. In 1 Chronicles 16:7 we read that David delivered a Psalm to Asaph to thank the Lord. Thank is "yadah" in Hebrew and means the following: to revere or worship with extended hands; to give praise, give thanks, acknowledge, declare the merits of someone. I am sure that David did this. Let he be our example.

The Tabernacle of David marked a revolutionary departure from the Old system separating God from the people and this was before Jesus came. Without violating the spirit of the Law of Moses, David caltivated a spirit of intimacy again between the people and God. Not only did David instruct them to have worship and praise but was he also the example to them. David taught the people to worship God with praise, thanksgiving and rejoicing.

The pattern of worship that David introduced in the Tabernacle of David is very important to God. It is so important to God that He declares in Amos 9:11-15 that He will restore it again. God will restore it in the last days before the return of Jesus. Since God knows that this is important, we should also and we should take notice of what has happened here at the Tabernacle of David.
