2 Samuel 5:11-6:23, 1Chronicles 13-16 | Handling the Presence of God
The passages in 2 Samuel 5:11-6:23 and 1 Chronicles 13-16 describe the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem by King David.
In 2 Samuel, after David established his reign over Israel, he captured Jerusalem and made it his capital. He then went to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant, which had been in the possession of the Philistines for many years. David led a procession of priests and Levites, and they placed the Ark on a new cart and brought it to Jerusalem with singing and dancing. However, when one of the men touched the Ark, he died, causing David to fear the Lord and question whether he should bring the Ark into the city. He eventually decided to leave the Ark in the house of Obed-Edom, a Levite, for three months, and when he heard that Obed-Edom and his household had been blessed, he brought the Ark to Jerusalem with great celebration.
In 1 Chronicles, the story of the Ark's return is told in greater detail. David consulted with his officials and commanders before retrieving the Ark, and they all agreed it was a good idea. However, when they placed the Ark on a new cart, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark, which was against God's command. Uzzah was struck down, causing David to be angry and afraid. He left the Ark in the house of Obed-Edom, and when he heard of the blessings that came upon him, he led a procession of priests and Levites to bring the Ark to Jerusalem. The Levites played music and offered sacrifices, and David danced before the Lord with all his might. They placed the Ark in a tent David had set up for it, and he appointed Levites to minister before the Ark and lead the people in worship.
Ultimately, the story of the Ark's return to Jerusalem reminds us of the importance of acknowledging and honoring the presence of God in our lives, and striving to live our lives in a way that reflects this awareness. By doing so, we can deepen our relationship with God and experience a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and connection in our lives.
