How was the ark of the Lord brought to Jerusalem?

After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
David summoned the Levites to carry the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord.
David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.
David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing.
As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.
They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God.
He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to extol, thank, and praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
David appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord.
David left Asaph and his associates before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister there regularly, according to each day’s requirements.

Identity - From David’s praise: Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. How is God in control of my life, present, past, and future? How should I give thanks to God?
Fidelity - Compare the two attempts David made in moving the ark (13, 15). What were the results and the causes? How do these remind me of my service to the Lord?
Fidelity - What were David’s reasons for praising the Lord? (23-24, 26, 33-34) Have I overlooked any?
