2 Samuel 6

Today’s passage in 2 Samuel chapter 6 tells of how David attempts to bring the ark of the covenant which symbolizes God’s presence back to Israel and place it in the city of Jerusalem, so that the worship of God might become the center of the nation once again.  Unfortunately surrounding this national moment in Israel’s history, there are two storylines that have tragic endings.  But before we reflect on those stories, let’s talk about why David wanted the ark of the covenant back in Jerusalem.
