What was special about Yerushalayim? Zevachim 54b says that [later,] when David went to Shmuel in Nayos (19:18), they probed where will be the Beis ha'Mikdash. This implies that now, he did not know that it will be in Yerushalayim! (PF)

It says "he put [Galyus'] Kelim in his tent", but we find that Galyus' sword was in Nov (21:10)!

1.

Malbim: Afterwards it was brought to Nov to recall the miracle.
