107 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalm 132
This
is another psalm describing the procession into the Temple as the king enters
for his coronation. With him he brings the ark, the symbol of God’s presence,
as David did on the first occasion of this sort.
1- What lessons
do we learn about the presence of God among His people? What did it mean to the
king as he looked at his responsibilities for his own life and for the life of
the nation? Cf. 2 Sa. 7:1-17.
2- How do
failures to enjoy blessings and promises of this sort arise? See how some of
the kings went astray (1 Ki. 11:1-6; 15:1-5; 2 Ki. 13:1-6).
Note. Verse
6. ‘Ephrathah’ is the ancient name of Bethlehem, the home of David (see NBD, p.
383), and ‘the fields of Jaar’ mean Kiriath-jearim (1 Sa. 7:1ff; 1 Ch. 13:5ff),
where the ark rested before David brought it to Jerusalem
