Study 4 From the Book of 1 Chronicles is: 1
Chronicles 13 and 14
1. The story in
chapter 13 will repay reflection. Was Uzzah alone guilty, or was the spirit of
deep reverence lacking also in king and people? Was it too much like a heathen
idol procession? What lesson would the judgment upon Uzzah impress upon the
people? Cf. Heb. 12:28, 29
2. The
Philistines were not willing to submit to the ascendancy of David, and three
times made an all-out effort to regain the upper hand. What may we learn from
the way David met the challenge?
Note.
13:6. The power and majesty of God are emphasized, as also His presence. Note
also the words ‘before God’ are emphasized, in verses 8 and 10
