Central Truth: You must obey God's commandments.
Scriptures: 2 Samuel 6:1-15, 17-19
David’s first military victory after becoming king secured the city of Jerusalem, which became the capital of Israel and the religious center of the country. He gathered 30,000 men to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. They set it on a new cart and along the way, the Ark slipped in the cart and Uzzah touched the Ark to steady it but was killed instantly. Afraid to go further, David left the Ark at the home of Obed-Edom. While the Ark remained with Obed-Edom, his entire home was blessed. When David heard how God had blessed Obed-Edom, he again attempted to bring it into Jerusalem. This time, he followed the law and had the Levites transport the Ark using staves. David also offered sacrifices along the journey and once they entered Jerusalem, he offered burnt and peace offerings for the people.
