1 Chronicles 15:1

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Made him houses - One for himself, and one for the ark; in the latter was a tent, under which the ark was placed.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

And pitched for it a tent - The old “tent” or “tabernacle” was still in existence at Gibeon 1 Chronicles 16:39; 2 Chronicles 1:3; but the ark had long been separated from it, and David probably thought that something newer and more magnificent was requisite. He therefore allowed the former tabernacle to keep its place, and had another made and erected.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
Wise and good men may be guilty of oversights, which they will correct, as soon as they are aware of them. David does not try to justify what had been done amiss, nor to lay the blame on others; but he owns himself guilty, with others, of not seeking God in due order
