The Ark of the Covenant returns to Jerusalem
|
Crisis
Israel suffered under King Saul’s rule because of his neglect and disobedience to the word of God. The nation began to be dominated in battle and oppressed by the Philistines.
Response
King David’s desire to obey God caused him to return to the ancient paths by reinstituting the Levitical priests. He called all of Israel to a solemn assembly to praise and honor God’s presence. He returned the ark to its rightful place in Jerusalem.
Outcome
The Lord made a covenant with David to establish his kingdom forever. From that day forth Israel was victorious in battle under King David's reign.
