3:2-3 The Ark of the Covenant sat in David’s tent in Jerusalem before the Temple was built, and the people . . . sacrificed their offerings at local places of worship (see study note on 8:1). However, this detracted from unified worship at a central sanctuary (12:1-24) and increased the danger of mixing with Canaanite religious practices. Israel’s worship at such places was forbidden (Deut 12:1-14).
