THe whole world is divided into two Congregations of men, the Church Malignant under Satan their Head, and the City of God, under Christ their Head. The general universality of natural men descending from the first Adam, and the special universality of believers descending from the second Adam. This City of God was collected at first in the people of Israel, therefore called the first-born, Exod. 4, 22. and holy to God as the first born, Ier. 2.3. That which they were called from the rest of the world unto, was to know, to serve, and to enjoy God:

serve him they may not, but as he had injoyned. Gods service was prescribed both quoad modum, and quoad locum, the manner how, the place where he would be worshipped, the manner delivered to Moses from Sinai, the place promised to be in due time revealed, Deut. 12.11, 14. The Tabernacle was the visible evidence of Gods presence amongst the people, placed first in Shiloh, Iosh. 18.1. and there continued till the dayes of Eli, all which time the people went up thither to sacrifice, 1 Sam. 1.3.

Then the Lord being provoked forsook Shilo, and gave his Glory, the Ark, into the hands of the Philistims, Psal. 78.59, 60, 67. 1 Sam. 4.11. The Philistims by plagues were forced to bring it to Bethshemesh, 1 Sam. 6.10. the men then being plagued for looking into it (according to the threatning, Numb. 4.20.) perswaded those of Kiriath Iearim to fetch it, which accordingly was done, 1 Sam. 7.1. after, Saul carried it into the field, 1 Sam. 14.18.

Thus we see that from the making of the Ark, till its placing in Shiloh (where it continued about 350. years) and from the times of its captivity till David brought it into Sion, which was about fifty years, it was unsettled and itinerant.

though God threatned to do to that place, as to Shiloh, Ier. 7.12, 14. This Psalm seemeth to have been compiled by David upon occasion of his setling the Ark in the Tabernacle which he had made for it in the City of David, after the Iebusites were ejected, the wall built, the place fortified, the Palace and political Government there setled.
