August 17, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 12:17 – 12:41

We had just read about the countries surrounding Israel wanting to wipe them from earth’s history, all I could think of is they should have made their move right now.  You have, what appears to be, all the strength of all of Israel, coming together to crown David king.  This celebration last 3 days.  3 days of feasting and drinking.  Although they were all the armed men of Israel, I doubt they were in position to put up much of a fight.  If you have watched any of the Game of Thrones series, you get a sense of what a gathering of this might look and feel like with the higher ups gathering together and the common soldiers having their own celebrations in the camps.  This many people and gathering for 3 days of celebration, I would imagine put Woodstock to shame.
