3 And the lamp of God* was not yet extinguished, and Samuel was lying in the temple+ of Jehovah, where the ark of God was.

2 then the king said to Nathan+ the prophet: “See, now, I am dwelling in a house of cedars+ while the ark of the [true] God is dwelling in the middle of tent cloths.”+

16 Thus they brought the ark of the [true] God in+ and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it;+ and they began to present burnt offerings and communion sacrifices before the [true] God.*+
