Jen Wilkin, JT English, Kyle Worley and guest Jamin Roller discuss the Ark, the Davidic covenant and more found in 2 Samuel 5–8.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- After defeating the Philistines, David’s first order of business is securing the “Ark of the Covenant.” What is this Ark and why does David want it?
- Why does God kill Uzzah in 6:5-11?
- Why so much celebration for the ark?
- Take a look at 2 Sam. 6:21-22 “I will become even more undignified than this…”
- 2 Samuel 7 is the covenant with David. What is a covenant? How are they employed throughout scripture? How does this one fit with those that came before? Why is it significant?
Helpful Definitions:
- Re-edenization: God bringing His kingdom back to the world.
- Davidic Covenant: In the Davidic covenant the covenant keeping God promises to re-establish his Kingdom on earth in that God will dwell with his people, take dominion over his creation, all through his earthly King (2 Samuel 7).
- Dwelling: God’s presence with humanity in the world that He created. The story of the Bible is “God with us.”
- Dominion: God’s creation of the world and his command to humanity to extend his glory to all of creation. Dominion relates to the place (Eden/Earth/Kingdom) and the task (Cultural mandate/discipleship) of God’s people.
- Dynasty: The crowning achievement of God’s creation is a people that will reign and rule with God as His vice-regents or representatives on earth.
