Vv. 38-40 — We find the Israelites rejoicing over the fact that David, a man who was faithful to the Lord, was to become their next king. We have reason to rejoice when the Lord places faithful pastors, teachers, and leaders over us. Remember to pray daily for them that they may remain faithful to the Lord and His will.
v. 6 — Why was David excited to have the ark of the covenant reside in the capital city of their nation? The answer is in v. 6.
v. 11 — David’s anger was not against God. He was angry with himself for not having followed God’s order. Read I Chron. 15:13.
v. 15 — The sound of marching on the tops of balsam trees might indicate God used nature in some way to aid David in giving him victory over the Philistines.
v. 28 — As Israel’s worship was not to be a dead affair, neither is our worship. Read Col. 3:16.
v. 29 — Michael’s problem here is more fully discussed in II Samuel 6. It was a serious one. Apparently what she really despised was David’s worshiping the Lord. Her cross to bring her to repentance is told in II Samuel 6:23.
Vv. 15-17 — God’s covenant found its fulfillment in Jesus who restored peace between God and us and brought us everlasting life.
1) God is this world’s mighty Creator (v. 26).
2) God’s covenant with Israel was an everlasting one (v. 17).
Vv. 11-14 — The reason why God did not permit David to build the temple is brought out by David in chapter 22:7-10. God proclaimed His peace to Israel through the daily sacrifices by the priests. They were to remind Israel of Jesus’ sacrifice that would restore eternal peace between God and us. Solomon, a peaceful man, and not David, a man of war, was to build the temple.
