In our last episode, the author chronicled the inauguration of King David over Israel. Now that David is king, he intends to reinstitute the proper worship of God at his tabernacle. When the ark of the covenant almost falls in transit, one of the men carrying the ark reaches out to grab it, which is not permissible by God’s law. The Lord strikes him dead, which both angers and terrifies David. Scared to bring it to Jerusalem, he leaves it in Gath, bringing it to Jerusalem at a later date. Once it arrives, they appoint musicians and priests for service in the worship of God.
