Quick answer
Zadok and the priests served before the Lord's tabernacle at the high place in Gibeon. The older tabernacle at Gibeon continued its sacrificial worship.
Overview
While the ark rested in Jerusalem, the tabernacle and its altar remained at Gibeon, where Zadok led the priestly sacrifices. This dual arrangement preserved proper worship until the temple would unite them. The temporary separation of ark and altar anticipates their fuller resolution in Solomon's temple and ultimately in Christ, in whom God's presence and atonement meet.
