Then David and the Israelite leaders brought God’s sacred chest from the city of Kiriath Jearim to the new sacred tent.

There was a bronze altar there that Bezalel son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still at Gibeon, in front of the first sacred tent.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

General Information:

It may be helpful to reorder the events in these verses as in the UST.

(Occurrence 0) spoke to all Israel, to the commanders … heads of the fathers’ house

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shəlomoh to/from=all/each/any/every Yisrael to,commanders the,thousands and,the,hundreds and,to_the,judges and=to/for=all leaders to/from=all/each/any/every Yisrael heads the,families )

Here “all of Israel” means those people mentioned afterwards. They represent all of Israel. Alternate translation: “spoke to the commanders … heads of the father’s house”

Note 2 topic: translate-numbers

(Occurrence 0) the commanders of thousands and of hundreds

This could mean: (1) these numbers represent the exact amount of soldiers that these commanders led. Alternate translation: “the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers” or (2) the words translated as “thousands” and “hundreds” do not represent exact numbers, but are the names of larger and smaller military divisions. Alternate translation: “the commanders of large military divisions and the commanders of smaller military divisions”

(Occurrence 0) to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ houses

Here “the heads of the fathers’ houses” further describe the princes. Alternate translation: “to every prince in all Israel, that is, the heads of the fathers’ houses”

(Occurrence 0) to every prince

Here “prince” means leaders in general. They are not necessarily the sons of the king. Alternate translation: “to every leader”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the heads of the fathers’ houses

Here “heads” is a metaphor for the most important part. And “houses” represents families. Alternate translation: “the leaders of the families in Israel” (See also: figs-metonymy)
