Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Chronicles 16:1

"And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God." — 1 Chronicles 16:1 (ASV)

The first three verses are part of the narrative that began in 1 Chronicles 15:25. Compare this with 2 Samuel 6:17–19, where the passage is not torn from its proper context.
