150 | Davidic covenant and wars (1 CHRONICLES 17-20)

from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen

It's around 1000-990 BC, give or take—that's the traditional date, though historians argue about specifics. David has finally united Israel and Judah after years of civil war following Saul's death. He's captured Jerusalem, made it his capital, and brought the Ark of the Covenant there in a huge religious ceremony. The surrounding nations—Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Arameans—are watching nervously. David just finished building himself a palace with cedar wood, probably using materials and workers from Hiram, king of Tyre. The contrast between his nice house and the tent where God's Ark sits is about to trigger something huge.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BtKz5AORQvSCCBO-MHYcSskTfUAeje3J/view?usp=sharing
