  • The (Second) Book of Samuel: chapter 6a

    Welcome to 2 Samuel, Shmuel part Bet, chapter vav, part a

    Episode 35: Carried Away


    After having reached the zenith of his political career King David seeks to synthesize his kingship with Hashem by escorting the Ark (last seen early in Shmuel part Aleph) to his newfound capital, Jerusalem. All seemed to be going well, until tragedy struck. Death leads the disbanding of the cavalcade; David is unsure if his mission is in line with God's intent. After divine blessing is shown the parade resumes.

    Later David comes home to bless his wife only to be berated for his behavior. David responds in kind and the chapter ends with a punishment of the last vestige of Shaul's children.

    But we are only scratching the surface. Why did the Aron seem to fall? What went wrong the first time and right the second? Who is the mysterious Oved-Edom and why in fact was Uzzah killed?
