3. One of the first things David
desired to do as king of Israel
Was to bring the Ark of God home.
The venture began with
joy, but David made a
mistake.
God had told them how
to transport the Ark.
3

4. God struck Uzzah dead
after he touched the Ark.
David left it at the home
of Obed-Edom, afraid to
move it farther.
4

5. 2 Sam 6:11 And
the ark of the LORD continued in the
house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and
the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his
household.
God punished David for
improper handling, not for
wanting the Ark home.
5

6. 1 Chronicles 15 11 And David called for Zadok and
Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for
Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and
Amminadab, 12 And said unto them, Ye are the
chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify your-
selves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may
bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto
the place that I have prepared for it. 13 For because
ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a
breach upon us, for that we sought HIM not after
the due order.
6

7. King David saw his error, confessed it, and turned
to the Right Way -- God’s Way.
Always
ready and
willing to
repent.
7

8. 12 And it was told king
David, saying, The LORD
hath blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and all that
pertaineth unto him, because
of the Ark of God. So David
went and brought up the Ark
of God from the house of
Obed-edom into the city of
David with gladness.
8

9. David wanted God’s blessings.
His heart was always toward God.
He would do whatever
God required.
9

10. 13 And it was so, that when
they that bare the ark of
the LORD had gone six
paces, he sacrificed oxen
and fatlings.
Too often the goal of men is to “git-er-done”.
We need to never be in a hurry, but rather be
striving to do things well and right.
God’s Way may not be the most efficient way.
It will be the most kind, loving, and patient way.
10

11. 14 And David danced
before the LORD with all
his might; and David was
girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the
David held nothing
house of Israel brought up back in his worship.
the Ark of the LORD with
shouting, and with the
sound of the trumpet.
Worship 11

12. 16 And as the Ark of the Lord
came into the city of
David, Michal Saul's daughter
looked through a window, and
saw king David leaping and
dan-cing before the LORD;
and she despised him in her
heart.
There are too many Michals in too many churches:
People doing nothing, but critical of anyone
doing anything.
12

13. 17 And they brought in the
Ark of the LORD, and set
it in His place, in the
midst of the tabernacle (tent)
that David had pitched for
it: and David offered burnt
offerings and peace offer- Hebrews 13 15 By Him
ings before the LORD. therefore let us offer
the sacrifice of praise
What kind of offerings to God continually, that
does God want from us? is, the fruit of our lips
giving thanks to His
Name. 13

14. 18 And as soon as David had made an end of
offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he
blessed the people in the Name of the LORD of
hosts. 19 And he dealt among all the people, even
among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the
women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a
good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the
people departed every one to his house.
Generosity
It’s a necessity in serving God.
14

15. 20 Then David returned to bless his household. And
Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet
David, and said (sarcastically), How glorious was
the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself
today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants,
as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth
himself!
His wife accused him of just showing off.
She was ashamed and embarrassed of his worship.
15

16. Those who will not worship the Lord are often
embarrassed by those who zealously do.
Know your own heart; if you are sincere before
God, pay no mind to the naysayers.
16

17. 21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the
LORD, which chose me before thy father, and
before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the
people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I
play (laugh and play) before the LORD. 22 And I
will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in
mine own sight: and of the maidservants which
thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in
honor. You ain’t seen nothing yet!
Like any good parent, God loves to see His
children joyfully at play.
17

18. 23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no
child unto the day of her death.
God took vengeance on Michal for her scorn.
People should be very careful how they criticize
the worship of others.

19. Psalm 150 1 Praise ye the
LORD. Praise God in His
sanctuary: praise Him in the
firmament of His power.
2 Praise Him for His mighty
acts: praise Him according
Psalm 33 3 Sing
to His excellent greatness.
3 Praise Him with the sound unto HIM a new
song; play skillfully
of the trumpet: praise Him
with a loud noise.
with the psaltery and harp.
God loves music; He likes it good; He likes it loud.
19

20. Psalm 150:4 Praise
Him with the
timbrel and dance: praise
Him with stringed
instruments and organs.
5 Praise Him upon the loud
cymbals: praise Him upon
the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that hath As David did --
breath praise the LORD. praise Him with
Praise ye the LORD.!!! all our might!!
