Day 91: JUSTICE, Unity, and Worship in 2 Samuel 4-6 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 91 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 2 Samuel 4-6. The murder of Ish-bosheth clears David’s path to kingship over all Israel, but he responds with justice, not celebration. The Ark’s return to Jerusalem sparks joy and reverence, though Uzzah’s death underscores God’s holiness amid David’s rising reign.

Questions:
1. David’s execution of Ish-bosheth’s killers in chapter 4 reflects a commitment to righteousness—how does this act challenge us to consider the theological interplay between justice and mercy in God’s economy?

2. Uzzah’s death in chapter 6 for touching the Ark reveals God’s unapproachable holiness—how does this event deepen our understanding of the tension between divine presence and human presumption, pointing to Christ as our mediator?

3. David’s exuberant worship in chapter 6 contrasts with Michal’s disdain—how might this scene provoke us to reflect on the nature of true worship as a response to God’s covenant faithfulness?
