John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 1. And David made him houses in the city of David , etc.] With the help of the masons and carpenters Hiram sent him, ( 1 Chronicles 14:1), the royal palace is meant, with all the apartments in it, which were many and large, as so great a family he had required, and with all the out houses to it necessary for his servants, and their offices: and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent ; (see 2 Samuel 6:17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-24 - 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 own himself guilty, with others, of not seeking God in due order
