καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ οἰκίας ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἡτοίμασεν τὸν τόπον τῇ κιβωτῷ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτῇ σκηνήν
And he made houses for himself in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and he made a tent for it.
The first sentence already signals deliberate correction after the failed transfer. David’s city-building now includes intentional provision for the ark, not merely royal habitation.

τότε εἶπεν Δαυιδ οὐκ ἔστιν ἆραι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀλλ' ἢ τοὺς Λευίτας ὅτι αὐτοὺς ἐξελέξατο κύριος αἴρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν κυρίου καὶ λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἕως αἰῶνος
Then David said, “No one ought to carry the ark of God except the Levites, because the LORD chose them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister to him forever.”
The chapter names the earlier mistake by implication and sets out the remedy in explicit cultic terms. Proper worship requires proper bearers, and David now speaks in the grammar of divine election and service.

And it happened, when God strengthened the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
The procession is sustained by divine help and answered with sacrifice. Worship here is not merely musical or emotional; it is sacrificial acknowledgment of God’s enabling presence.

And David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the singers, and Chenaniah the chief of the songs of the singers; and upon David was a linen robe.
David is presented in priestly-adjacent festal clothing without erasing the distinct roles of Levites and priests. The image is one of royal participation in ordered worship, not autonomous cultic seizure.

And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came as far as the city of David, that Michal daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
The final note introduces a discordant private response to public liturgical joy. In Chronicles, however, the emphasis falls less on domestic conflict than on the fact that properly ordered worship has at last brought the ark into David’s city.
