  David danced before the lord. In the Bible, David danced before the Lord with all his might. He was clad in a linen ephod, and this event occurred when the ark of the Lord was brought into the city of David. However, Michal, Saul's daughter, despised him for his dancing. David’s wife Michal was horrified at her husband’s public dance, but not because he was naked " almost" Scripture says she “watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart” (2 Samuel 6:16). She was embarrassed at his lack of decorum and felt it was beneath his dignity as king. It shouldn’t be surprising that preachers tend to sensationalize certain Bible verses. But sometimes they go just a bit too far. The perfect example is that millions of people still believe that King David danced naked, or in his under-roos, when they brought the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. I’ve ran into many people both online and in real life that are ...

  Death. 2 Samuel 12:18 The death of David's son is described in the Bible, specifically in 2 Samuel 12:18. On the seventh day, the child died, and David's servants were afraid to tell him. The child's death was a consequence of David's sin. David lost other children as well: Bathsheba's first son, Amnon, and Absalom. 2 Samuel 12:18-19. Despite David's fervent intercession, the child dies on the seventh day. David's servants fear informing him, worried about his reaction, but David perceives the truth from their whispers (2 Samuel 12:18-19). Upon confirmation of the child's death, David's response is unexpected. In 2 Samuel 12, the prophet Nathan confronts David concerning his sin with Bathsheba and pronounces a judgment against David. Sadly, that judgment included the death of David and Bathsheba’s infant son (verse 14). The fact that an innocent child dies—instead of the guilty pair—is troubling in light of what we know of God’s justice and His car...

  What does the bible say about women wearing pants? Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. Whether or not Christian women should wear pants, slacks, or jeans is a long-standing issue among believers. It is, perhaps, an issue that has garnered more than its fair share of attention over the past few decades. The faithfulness of a daughter of God is not ultimately measured by what clothing she wears but by her walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). The topic of women wearing pants has sparked considerable debate within Christian communities. While the Bible does directly address the issue of women wearing pants, several passages provide insight into the principles of modesty, gender roles, and appropriate attire. Deuteronomy 22:5 says: "A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all w...
