The Ark of God had been ignored during Saul’s reign as king. So David decided to bring it to his new capital. He sent a message throughout Israel inviting them to come join him for this great event.

The people agreed that this was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, they didn’t follow God’s instructions on how the Ark was to be moved. Instead they put it on a new cart and pulled it with a team of oxen.
