put it into the battle. thinking thus
TO insure victory. They reasoned. ap-
parently, that God would not permit
the Ark of the Covenant to be in

would be bound to come to Israel.
The people forget that they had been
living irrcligiously, in violation of
their Covenant with God, and required
punishment They forgot that the two
priests by no means represented God
and His righteousness that they
were thieves and robbers, garbed as
priests of God; that they were inn
moral, impure. posing as the repre-
sentatiyes of the Lord: and that Gods
blessing could not be expected under
