Lesson 6<\/h2>\n

Israel’s New King<\/h1>\n

Chronology Summary<\/h2>\n

Israel’s Deadly Lesson (II Samuel 6)<\/h3>\n

David worked to stabilize his kingdom. He desired to move the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and install it a permanent temple. (II Samuel 6:1-3)<\/p>\n

God had commanded the Levites to transport the ark on their shoulders. This implied man never touching the Ark. Israel broke this commandment and attempted transport of the ark on an ox-cart. The cart shook and Uzzah reached out his hand to break the fall of the Ark. Uzzah was destroyed because of his disobedience and irreverence for God’s law concerning care for the Ark. The Ark in the house of Obed-Edom for three months. This resulted in a blessing for him. Eventually, the Ark was finally moved to Jerusalem. (II Samuel 6:4-11)<\/p>\n

David experienced dazzling military success. The names of his army captains and commanders are recorded in I Chronicles 11. This passage also shows the number of soldiers in the Israelite army. (I Chronicles 11:10-12:40)<\/p>\n

Michal, Saul’s daughter and David’s wife, despised the success of David and died childless. (II Samuel 6:20-23)<\/p>\n

No (II Samuel 7)<\/h3>\n

David requested that God might allow him to build a permanent temple. God denied this request. God did not want a warrior to build his temple. The response from God was in the form of a covenant with Messianic overtones. However, God did allow David to start the architectural work and material gathering efforts. (II Samuel 7:1-17; I Chronicles 17:1-27)<\/p>\n

David prayed an inspirational prayer of praise. (II Samuel 7:18-29)<\/p>\n

David Prospers (II Samuel 8-10)<\/h3>\n

God allowed David to have success in the expansion of his kingdom. (II Samuel 8:1-18; I Chronicles 18:1-19:19)<\/p>\n

David demonstrated his goodness in the events regarding Mephibosheth, Jonathon’s lame son. Often, a new king would seek out and destroy all potential and proper heirs to the throne. This included killing all male children and grandchildren of the king. Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth would have qualified to take the throne once Ishbosheth was assassinated. David understood this and chose not to kill Mephibosheth. Rather, David took good care of Jonathan’s son. (II Samuel 9:1-13)<\/p>\n

Israel defeated the Ammonites and the Syrians. (II Samuel 10:1-19)<\/p>\n

      3. What does David pray for regarding Jerusalem? Why is this important?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Psalm 105 – Make known His deeds among the peoples!<\/h2>\n
