The word in this verse is that usually translated, when it does not refer to the sacred dwellingplace of God&rsquo;s glory, by the English &lsquo;tent&rsquo; (<span class='bible'>Gen 9:21<\/span> &amp;c.) and it would be well so to render here. In no other passage in Scripture does the word occur of the Divine dwellingplace without some qualifying expression added to it. It is &lsquo;the tabernacle of the congregation,&rsquo; &lsquo;the tabernacle of witness,&rsquo; &lsquo;the tabernacle of the Lord.&rsquo; In all these cases &lsquo; <strong> Tent<\/strong> &rsquo; might well be substituted. This word refers to the external covering of black goats&rsquo; hair, while the other word implies the interior, the very dwellingplace of God, and for this &lsquo;Tabernacle&rsquo; might be specially retained.<\/p>\n<p><em> all the people said<\/em> ] Solomon&rsquo;s anointing was made a public ceremonial, news of what was to be done would go forth during the time that a messenger went to Gibeon for the sacred oil, and thus there seems to have been present not only those whom David had commissioned but a large body of the people of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><P STYLE=\"text-indent: 0.75em\"><B>The tabernacle &#8211; <\/B>Probably that which David had made for the ark of the covenant on Mount Zion <span class='bible'>2Sa 6:17<\/span>.
