From Beauty to Gladness
Commentators note this verse is a variation of Psalm 96:6, which reads 'strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.' The author of Chronicles intentionally changes 'beauty' to 'gladness.' This shift highlights that God's presence, symbolized by the Ark in its new home on Zion, is not only majestic and powerful but is fundamentally a source of deep joy for His people.
