“Let Me Put This Here”

 Introduction

When you think about David’s life up to this point, he has gone from the least important person in Israel, to the most important person in Israel. David knows it was not something he did, but something God did.

King David has now founded his city in Jerusalem and during the celebration of the Ark of God returning to the center of Israel, calamity fell on one of the priests all because they couldn’t follow the rules from Moses’s time.

David’s conundrum is what to do with the Ark of God? Is God angry at me? Israel? How do I fix that?

Let Me Put This Here

“So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.” (2 Samuel 6:10)

Over the next three months David is aware of the blessings that Obededom is given by God. Of course everyone is going to tell David what is going on. Some will tell him to help him, others will tell him with their own agenda.

Dancing a Jig for God

David brings the Ark of God to the Tabernacle. Not the temple, David hasn’t built a temple, he pitches the tent that was the same Tabernacle Moses used. David was happy and excited that he was able to bring the Ark into his city. So happy that he dances in the nude in front of men, women, and handmaids. As exciting as that seems, there is a problem.
