II Samuel: Peril In Transporting The Ark Of The Covenant - Why Did God Kill The Man Who Only Wanted To Help?

Published: April 29, 2019, 12:38 p.m.

It is time for King David to bring the Ark Of The Covenant to Jerusalem. Although the intent is correct and he took great care in preparing it for transport, the first attempt resulted in God putting a man to death after he tried to stabilize the Ark as it was about to fall from its transport.

This incident sounds peculiar and it seems to us that it is unlike our loving God to react this way to an innocent desire to keep the Ark from falling to the ground. Even King David was angry with God for killing this man.  

Why would God react this way to this incident while carrying the Ark to its rightful home in Jerusalem? 

An excellent question that you and I would do well to understand. This is precisely why the account is preserved in the Bible! 

Join the lesson and discover for yourself even more about how God' thinks and how He comes to do what He does. Especially when it makes little sense to us! 

Yes, God really DOES want YOU to know Him VERY intimately, if you are His in Christ. Continue you with us as we allow His Word to bring us closer to Him - because that is His intention through it!
