August 25, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 15

Can you imagine the celebration of bringing the Ark into Jerusalem, the music and the singing and the sheer joy.  We have seen images of the ticker tape parades after wars or world championships; you have to imagine this was so much more.  They were bringing God home.  And among all this joy, you have this last line about the daughter of Saul looking down on it all and just despising David and all that he is bringing.  This scene would be a season cliff hanger in the TV series about David, which I have talked about before.
