28.17: 2 Samuel 6: It's Not Just Our Good Motives that Matter, It's Our Methods, Too.

The year is 1000 BC, and David’s next task was to bring the Ark of the  Covenant from where it’s been for 70 years to Jerusalem. He had good  motives, but as you will see, his methods were lacking. Remember, Moses relayed to the Israelites the specific instructions God gave him on the building of the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus). They even had detailed directions on who and how it was to be carried. The  Kohathites of the tribe of Levi were the only ones who were designated  to touch, carry, and care for the Ark of God (Numbers). Back in 1 Samuel 4, the Israelites got the bright idea to take the Ark into battle against the Philistines and they ended up losing it. They failed to seek God’s guidance in the matter. Then, the Philistines discovered that God is mightier than their man-made idols (that was funny!). They returned the Ark on a cart, but the Hebrews never brought it back  to its proper place at the tabernacle in Shiloh. They left it in  someone’s yard like an old useless relic. So, what happens when David tries to bring it to Jerusalem? Let’s dig in…. Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music videos at the bottom….
