2nd Samuel 6 (NASB) – “Problem Passages”
6 But when they came to
the threshing floor of
Nacon, Uzzah reached
out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. 7 And the anger of the Lord burned
against Uzzah, and God
struck him down there for his
irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 David became angry
because of
the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah
to this day. 9 So David
was afraid of the Lord that
day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come
to me?” 10 And David was
unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into
the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom
the Gittite.
16 Then it happened as the
ark of the Lord came
into the city of David that Michal
the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and
dancing before the Lord; and she despised
him in her heart.
20 But when David
returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet
David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He
uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish
ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21 So David said to
Michal, “It was before
the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his
house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel;
therefore I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will be more
lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the
maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.” 23 Michal the daughter
of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
