1 Chronicles 16, Psalms 1-2
The Tabernacle of David This tent that David set up is known as “The Tabernacle of David.” I’m going to put several pictures in this post of how artists think it may have looked. They all show the ark uncovered. It would probably have been covered with a blue cloth, (Num. 4:6). I could be…

1st Chronicles 13-15
Restoring the Presence of Yahweh Chapters 13 and 15 give us the 2-part account of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant into the City of David. Chapter 14 covers the same material from 2nd Samuel 5; about the 2 battles with the Philistines after David becomes king. So I won’t touch on that other…

Psalms 106 & 107
Today we have back-to-back psalms of praise that call us to consider the things God has done. 106 is all about Israel’s history with Yahweh while 107 is more general and maybe even a little prophetic in scope. Let’s see what treasures we can find. 💎 PSALM 106 First word: Hallelujah. Whenever you see “Praise…

1 Chronicles 12, Psalm 133
You can’t become king without the loyalty of your army. And David had that in spades. 1st Chronicles 12 reaches all the way back to the time when David moved to Ziklag in Philistine Territory so that Saul would quit chasing him. Even back then, members of the military defected to David. And they were…

2 Samuel 5, 1 Chronicles 11
📣 Ladies and Gentlemen, now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for… That’s kind of how it feels to finally reach the moment where David becomes King of Israel. The text of 1st Chronicles 11:1-9 is nearly an exact copy of 2 Samuel 5:1-10. We get just a few different details in each account…

Psalms 103 & 104
Both of these psalms are songs of praise. I know the schedule has 2 Samuel 5 in the plan for today. That’s the part where David becomes king of all Israel. I’ll cover that tomorrow along with 1 Chronicles 11. PSALM 103 The list of Yahweh’s benefits that starts the psalm is not exhaustive, but…

1st Chronicles 10, Psalm 102
1st Chronicles 10 is on the death of King Saul and since we covered his death in an earlier post, I’m going to just focus on Psalm 102. This psalm has a rather said heading: “The prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord.” We don’t know who wrote this psalm…

1st Chronicles 8-9
Even if you are getting a bit cross-eyed 🤪reading all these names, you have to respect the ancient Israelites for keeping such meticulous records. How many of us could name our ancestors back through more than a couple generations? And they didn’t have Ancestry.com. There are a couple names I want to point out but…

Psalms 88, 92, 93, and 1st Chronicles 7
Welcome back. Let’s start with Chronicles… We get more lists of Jacob’s descendants. I have listed the tribes in the order they appear in the chapter and also the mother of each son : ABOUT BENJAMIN… If you go to Genesis 46:21, the list of Benjamin’s sons is much longer than the list here in…

1st Chronicles 6, Psalm 81
From 1st Chronicles 6 we find out some interesting details about the Levitical priesthood and particularly those who were involved in the temple service in David and Solomon’s time. The chapter starts with the genealogy of the priests through the linage of Eleazer the son of Aaron. The older two brothers were the ones struck…

Psalm 78
Story time with Prophet-Psalmist, Asaph. In this psalm Asaph takes the reader on a recap of Israel’s history with Yahweh. It’s like a highlight reel of a few key moments of their history from the Exodus to time at which Asaph is writing. That’s over 400 years of history. If you’ve been reading this blog…

Psalms 73 & 77
Psalms of Asaph There is more than one Asaph in the OT. I will point them out as we go. And there is possibly more than one psalmist using that name. We won’t get to those other-Asaph psalms until December and April. The name Asaph means “collector” or “gatherer.” So it could be that besides…
