David's prayer and thanksgiving For I have not dwelt in a house The phrase "I have not dwelt" is significant in understanding God's relationship with His people. The Hebrew root for "dwelt" is "yashab," which implies a settled, permanent residence. This highlights that God, in His divine wisdom, chose not to confine Himself to a fixed structure. Instead, His presence was dynamic and mobile, reflecting His desire to be accessible to His people wherever they were. This serves as a reminder that God is not limited by physical structures but is omnipresent and sovereign over all creation. from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling But have gone . . .--Literally, and I became from tent to tent, and from dwelling. This is clearly too brief for sense; some words must have fallen out, or the reading of Samuel may be original here. The phrase "and I became" almost demands a participle, and the one actually read in Samuel may be here disguised under the expression translated "from tent." A slight further change (in the prepositions) will give the sense: "And I continued walking in a tent and in a dwelling." Perhaps, however, the original text was, "and I walked from tent to tent, and from dwelling to dwelling;" alluding to the various sanctuaries anciently recognised, such as Bethel (Judges 20:18; Judges 20:26), Mizpeh (Judges 11:11; 1Samuel 10:17), and Shiloh. The word "dwelling" (mishk?n) is a more general term than tent. It includes the sacred tent and its surrounding court. Verse 5. - This verse contains the three terms - house, tent, tabernacle (see notes on 1 Chronicles 16:1). Gesenius observes that when the Hebrew of the last two words is used distinctively, the tent describes the outer coverings of the twelve curtains; and the tabernacle, the ten inner curtains and framework as well, in other words, the whole equipment of the well-known tabernacle. As compared with the version we have here, the parallel place speaks an almost pathetic condescension, "I was a shifting traveller in tent and tabernacle." God meant to remind David how surely and faithfully he had shared the pilgrim lot and unsettledness of his people. What most holy the tabernacle contained was herein a type of the bodily tabernacle of Jesus Christ in later times.Parallel Commentaries ...
