David Brings the
Ark to Jerusalem
To Remember:
David seeks ways to please God
Lesson 2 Samuel 6-9
Lesson Text: Soon David made his plans to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
Taking 3,000 of Israel’s best man, he had the ark set on a new cart and brought
down from Abinadad’s house where it had been for twenty years. Read the entire lesson text...
Outline
David returns ark to Jerusalem 2 Sam. 6:2
Carried on cart, not on poles Exodus 25:14
Uzzah struck dead 2 Sam. 6:7
David left ark with Obed-edom 3 months
brought ark to Jerusalem correctly 2 Sam. 6:15
Discussion Point: good intentions does not equal obedience. Also,
while the laws in Exodus were 400 years old at David's time, they were
still in force. God's laws are still in force today.
David wants to build God a house 2 Sam. 7:1-2
God said Solomon would build it.
David prepared plans and material
Discussion point: Just because an idea is a good one, doesn't mean God
might have other plans. Also, David did not sulk about his rejection, but
rather did what he could to make the job easier for his son.
God promises that David’s family will reign forever 2 Sam. 7:13,16
Still true today through Christ.
David fights off the enemies of Israel 2 Sam. 8:14b,15
David showed kindness to Mephibosheth
Kept his promise to Jonathon by taking care of his son 2 Sam. 9:7
Activity: Add to the good and bad points David on
his chart. David seeks ways to please God, he repents and obeys, he is kind and
remembers his friends. On bad side, he neglects to obey the law to the letter,
he forgets to check with God first about the temple.
Craft: Have students draw a picture of David in his
house (or color a similar picture). On another page, draw and cut open doors.
Paste the door frame onto the first page. Let students decorate the doors as
well.
2 Sam 7:16 "Your family shall
rule my kingdom forever."
2 Sam 7:9-10 "I have been with
you wherever you have gone and have destroyed your enemies. And I will make
your name greater yet, so that you will be one of the most famous men in the
world!"
