Name: Adam Seffens Date: 10/25/2022 Section: (003) Old Testament Bible Study Assignment Passage: 2 Samuel 6:1-23 Instructions: For this assignment, you will be studying the Old Testament story of “The Ark Brought to Jerusalem” found in 2 Samuel 6:1-23. You will use the template below in order to complete a study of this passage. In your study, you will use the skills of Observation, Interpretation, Correlation, and Application that you have become familiar with through your reading in Everyday Bible Study . I. Observation A. I have read 2 Samuel 6:1-23 in both a formal translation (KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, or CSB) and a functional translation (NIV, NLT, or NCV). Highlight the correct answer. Please use the translation provided in your digital library or found at Biblegateway.com o Yes o No B. Having read the passage in both formal and functional translation, list at least 2 similarities and 3 differences between the way both translations cover this story. You may list as many similarities and differences that you find as long as you meet the minimum amount. Similarity: they both say “David was angry” with God about Uzzah Similarity: they both seemed to indicate that Uzzah had good intentions when reaching out to hold the Ark Difference: verse 22, functional translation said that David will humiliate himself in his own eyes, but the formal translation said that he will be abased in the eyes of Michal Difference: formal translation hyphenates Baalah-judah, while functional translation separates Baalah and Judah Difference: formal translation could possibly be read as God was “in the wrong” for striking Uzzah down, while the functional does not have that potential miscommunication

C. Identify the basic elements of the story you are studying 1. Main characters: (List them) David Uzzah Michal 2. Plot: (50-100 words) David has the Ark and is bringing it into Jerusalem on a cart. On the way there, the oxen pulling the cart stumble, and Uzzah reaches his hand out and touches the Ark to stabilize it. God strikes Uzzah and does not allow David to bring the Ark into the city for the time being. David moved the Ark into Obed-edom until he could move it into Jerusalem. Once he moved it to Jerusalem, he rejoiced in a priestly garment. Michal looked with contempt on David for dancing and uncovering himself while female servants were present. David said that he only uncovered himself in front of the Lord. 3. Narrative structure: (50-100 words) Note: Plot and Narrative Structure are not the same thing (see the tutorial and student example) Intro: David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back into Jerusalem Inciting Incident: David puts the Ark on a cart instead of carrying it on poles Rising Action: Uzzah touches the Ark and is struck down, David moves the Ark into the house of Obed-edom Climax: David brings the Ark into Jerusalem Falling Action: Micah confronts David Conclusion: David is right in the eyes of God, the Ark is in its place. D. List basic observations about this passage using the “Key Question” for observation. Remember to review chapters 17 and 33 in Everyday Bible Study . This will help you be more detailed in your answers to “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how.” Please be detailed and specific as you answer these six key questions. 1. Who:  David  Uzzah  Michal

2. What:  David has the Ark  Transports the Ark on cart  Uzzah touches the Ark, is struck down  Ark is moved into Obed-edom, Obed-edom is blessed  Ark is moved into city  David rejoices  Michal confronts David  David explains he is rejoicing in front of the Lord 3. Where:  Baale-judah  Threshing floor of Nacon  Perez-uzzah  House of Obed-edom  City of David 4. When:  During the rule of David  During the ministry of Samuel  Before the ministry of Nathan 5. Why:  Why was Uzzah struck down? o Because David did not follow God’s procedures on carrying the Ark, and Uzzah touched the Ark  Why did David not bring the Ark into the city immediately? o He was afraid of the Lord  Why did Michal look down on David? o He undressed himself in front of his servants’ female servants 6. How :  How did David mess up? o In Exodus, God ordered Aaron to carry the Ark by placing it on poles and having two men carry it. David did not follow this rule, and moved the Ark on a cart pulled by Oxen II. Interpretation
