The Bible Says:

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem (Listen)

David built houses for himself in the city of David. And he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it. Then David said that no one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the LORD had chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister to him forever. And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

(ESV)

So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel. And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

(ESV)

So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with rejoicing. And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers. And David wore a linen ephod. So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and made loud music on harps and lyres.

And as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.

(ESV)

—1 Chronicles 15:1-3, 14-16, 25-29a

And here is a thought:

by: Angie Osborn.

David had made his mistakes, but this time, he listened to God’s instructions, and followed His plan. As a result, the ark was placed and there was great rejoicing. In reading chapter 15, it is clear that David really took his time to create a detailed plan that would result in worshipping and rejoicing in God’s faithfulness. When God reveals His presence in our lives, we should also respond with great rejoicing. This Sabbath, take time to reflect on God’s faithfulness in your life. Be specific, notice the details, and then worship Him and rejoice in His never ending faithfulness!
