1 Samuel 5:1-7:2 | The Ark Returns
• Series: 1 Samuel | Looking for the True King
If you have a relative that served in a war, chances are they brought something home from the front lines. While most war trophies are a privilege to possess, some you may wish you never brought home. Danny Nightingale was jailed for 18 months after he plead guilty to possessing a 9mm pistol that he was given to him after his 2007 tour in Iraq which he forgot to register. This week, as we return to the book of 1 Samuel, we will look at the ultimate trophy of war — the ark of the covenant — and we will learn why the Philistines regretted bringing it home.
