(June, 30-2016 on Thursday)
2 Samuel 6: 138 23 And Michal daughter of Saul had
no children to the day of her death. (5)
258
17 They
brought the ark of the Lord
and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and
David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. (8)
18 After he had
finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed
the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
369
8 Then
David was angry because the Lord’s
wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez
Uzzah.
(8)
9 David was afraid of
the Lord that day and said, “How can the ark of the Lord
ever come to me?”
369
21 David
said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house
when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. (3)
22 I will become even
more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by
these slave girls you spoke of, I will
be held in honor.”
147
12 Now
King David was told, “The Lord
has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the
ark of GOD.” So David went to bring up the ark of GOD from the house of
Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.(3)
13 When those who were
carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull
and a fattened calf.
14 Wearing a linen
ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his
might,
15 while he and all
Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and
the sound of trumpets.
16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched
from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her
heart.
147
3 They
set the ark of GOD on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab,
which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new
cart (3)
4 with the ark of GOD on
it, and Ahio was walking in front of it.
5 David and all
Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets, harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.
6 When they came to
the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of GOD,
because the oxen stumbled.
7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act;
therefore GOD struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of GOD.
147
19 Then
he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person
in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went
to their homes. (1)
20 When David returned
home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and
said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around
half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow
would!”
258
10 He
was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the
house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
(1)
11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord
blessed him and his entire household.
258
The Ark Brought to
Jerusalem
1 David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand.
(1)
2 He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah to bring up
from there the ark of GOD, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord
Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark.
