AB In a recent essay Jaeyong Jeon has argued that the Chronicler’s depiction of the Davidic and Mosaic tents, along with their cultic associated cultic paraphernalia and associated, bespeaks an anti-priestly Tendenz. This position, it is argued, constitutes part of Chronicles’ critique of priestly hegemony and the book’s interest in enhancing the status of Levites. The present article takes issue with this position; after addressing the difficulties in Jeon’s proposal it proffers a very different understanding of the role of the Mosaic tent in the Chronicler’s Weltanschauung.
