0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.7 | One of the things you may notice as we drop into Chronicles from time to time is that things |
0:17.3 | aren't always in the same order. It can be confusing and frustrating sometimes, |
0:21.5 | but remember that there won't be a quiz at the end of this. Being able to follow the timeline is |
0:26.3 | super helpful, but our main focus is to see who God is. Besides, most of the time it isn't actually |
0:32.6 | confusing at all. It just requires a little mental adjusting if the storyline moves backward a step |
0:37.3 | instead of |
0:37.8 | forward. We open today with David making plans to move the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, |
0:43.3 | the newly seized, newly named capital of the nation of Israel. You may recall from back in 1st |
0:49.1 | Samuel 4 that the Philistines stole the ark in a battle, and when Eli the priest heard the news, |
0:55.6 | he fell over and died. God plagued the Philistines as the ark in a battle, and when Eli the priest heard the news, he fell over and died. |
1:02.6 | God plagued the Philistines as long as they had the ark, so they decided to get rid of it by sending it away on milk cows. |
1:11.0 | According to 1 Samuel 6, the cows went first to the Israelites in Beth Shamesh, but they mistreated the ark and several of them died. |
1:17.1 | So they sent it to the home of a man named Abinidad in Kiryeth Jerram. It remained there as long as Saul was king, probably because Saul didn't understand its value to the people of Israel. |
1:22.5 | It was considered the earthly throne of God, after all. David does see its value, though. He seeks counsel from God, |
1:30.6 | other leaders, and even the people as he plans to bring the ark to Jerusalem. He decides to |
1:35.7 | assemble the entire nation for this event. But there is one problem from the start. David has a lot |
1:42.0 | of zeal in this, but fails to yield to God's rules for how the |
1:46.0 | ark should be treated. First of all, the ark is only supposed to be moved by the Levites, |
1:51.9 | but David disregards that rule. And second, the ark isn't supposed to be moved on a cart, |
1:57.5 | remember? It's supposed to be moved on poles. The decision to move it on a cart |
2:02.3 | may not be blatant disregard for God's commands, but it's carelessness at best. After all, the Philistines |
