Peril in Transporting the Ark
1Then David consulted with the captains of the thousands and the hundreds, even with every leader.
2David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God, let us send everywhere to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with us;

3and let us bring back the ark of our God to us, (A)for we did not seek it in the days of Saul."



9When they came to (I)the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it.
10The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, so He struck him down (J)because he put out his hand to the ark; (K)and he died there before God.


12David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God home to me?"

Can you picture that? To have such a relationship with God that you were afraid of him. We are to be living in the fear of the Lord. I do believe in what his Word says...but, like my parents when I was growing up, I did not want to dis-obey them because I feared them. As I think about it know, I know I fear punishment not my parents. Now that I am a parent myself I realize that even punishments I give my children are to help them learn something. I believe our Heavenly Father does that for me now...I will repent daily and take my "punishment" so I can learn what I need to.

David's Supporters in Ziklag
1(A)Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still restricted because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in war.
2They were equipped with bows, (B)using both the right hand and the left to sling stones and to shoot arrows from the bow; (C)they were Saul's kinsmen from Benjamin

Supporters Gathered at Hebron
23Now these are the numbers of the divisions equipped for war, (M)who came to David at Hebron, (N)to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, (O)according to the word of the LORD.

38All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with (U)a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.
39They were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their kinsmen had prepared for them.
40Moreover those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, (V)brought food on donkeys, camels, mules and on oxen, great quantities of flour cakes, fig cakes and bunches of raisins, wine, oil, oxen and sheep. There was joy indeed in Israel.

David Made King over All Israel, Jerusalem, Capital City

6Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." (F)Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

7Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
8He built the city all around, from the [a]Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9(G)David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

David's Mighty Men

10(H)Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, (I)according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

14They took their stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

David did great things because the Lord was with him. ***** Even as I sit here today...trying to read the Lord's word...My children are fighting- I am trying to focus- trying to find understanding...but it was not until I gave this time-this situation and these circumstances to the Lord that I was able to read and focus on my study today...

Are you having a hard time getting into the Word like I am? I am aware that generational sins are great ones...I am aware that the only way to break generational sins is to give them to the Lord...The Lord's Words never say that sin won't happen...we all have fallen short of the glory of God. It does promise, however, that we can through the believe of Jesus-find hope.

May you and your generations find hope today :o)

People of Jerusalem

1So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
2(B)Now the first who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites and (C)the temple servants.
3Some of the sons of Judah, of the sons of Benjamin and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh lived in (D)Jerusalem:

19Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father's house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent; and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entrance.

22All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, (M)whom David and Samuel the seer appointed (N)in their office of trust.
23So they and their sons had charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tent, as guards.
24The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.
25Their relatives in their villages (O)were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;
26for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

Genealogy: The Priestly Line...(and some highlights)

31(K)Now these are those whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the LORD, (L)after the ark rested there.
32They ministered with song before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem; and they served in their office according to their order.
33These are those who served with their sons: From the sons of the Kohathites were Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,

49But Aaron and his sons (M)offered on the altar of burnt offering and (N)on the altar of incense, for all the work of the most holy place, and (O)to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

Genealogy from Reuben

1Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for (A)he was the firstborn, but because (B)he defiled his father's bed, (C)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; so that he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright.
2(D)Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and (E)from him came the leader, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

18The sons of Reuben and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, consisting of valiant men, men who bore shield and sword and shot with bow and were skillful in battle, were 44,760, who (Q)went to war.
19They made war against (R)the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish and Nodab.
20They were helped against them, and the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hand; for (T)they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because (U)they trusted in Him.

25But they (Z)acted treacherously against the God of their fathers and (AA)played the harlot (AB)after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of (AC)Pul, king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he (AD)carried them away into exile, namely the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
