Day 148 - Read 2 Samuel 5-6

September 18, 2024 • 2 Samuel 5—6

David was anointed king of Israel. David became great and his descendants became many. The Jebusites said David could not enter Zion, but the blind and lame would ward him off, meaning the idols and gods would prevent him. David took the city and called it the city of David. The Philistines sought war with David. David’s army conquered the Philistines with God’s hand on them. David had the ark of God brought to the city. Uzzah touched the ark while they transported it and was struck down by God. David had the ark taken to Obed-edom where it remained for three months. The ark was brought to the city and David danced and played music of celebration. Michal, his wife, and the daughter of Saul was embarrassed and scolded David.
