BIBLE EXPLORATIONS.
We read that the ark had been in the
house of Abinadab at Kirjath-jarim for
a long time, for the Israelites had grown
careless and neglected it. David asked
the people to go with him to bring it to
Jerusalem, They set it upon a new cart
and two sons of Abinadab drove the
oxen. Now you must know that the
ark was a most sacred thing and God had
told them none but the priests must
touch and no one look upon it till the
priests had coverd it with the curtains
of the tabernacle. It was the duty of
the Levites to carry it upon their shoul
ders when it was moved from one place
to another. As they came to a certain
threshing floor the oxen shook the ark
and one of tbe men put forth his hand
to touch it. This made God angry, so
He smote him till he died there by the
ark. Thus we see how God punished
disobedience.
David was displeased with the Lord
and afraid of Him too, so he left the ark
in the house of Obed-edom. God blessed
this man and his family because of the
ark and wh.enDavid hea-d it, he went
again to bring the ark to Jerusalem. He
did not put it on a cart again, but bad
the Levites to carry it upon their shoul
ders. When they had gone a little ways,
David sacrificed to the Lord. He felt so
glad he danced and leaped with joy. So
David and the house of Israel brought
up the ark with shoutingsand the sound
of the trumpet. Michal, David’s wife,
saw him dancing and she dispised him
in her heart. She told him he had be
haved shamefully and made himself low
in the eyes of the people, but David said
it was before the Lord he had done it.
So they put the ark in the tabernacle
which David had prepared for it and he
offered burnt-offerings and peace-offer
ings after which he blessed the people in
the name of the Lord.
David had a beautiful house he had
built for himself and he wanted to build
one for she Lord to keep the ark in.
Nathan, the prophet, told him at first to
build it, but God told Nathan he must
not do so. God said he would let David’s
son build it. He also promised David
to bless his seed and establish his king
dom forever. Then David offered
prayer and thanksgiving to the God who
had raised him to be king over his peo
ple Israel. , .. ..
David went to war against the heathen
kings and : u'idued them. He made
them his servants and took from them
large numbers of horses and chariots,
gold, silver and brass. The Lord blessed
him and was with him wherever he went,
and he was a wise and just king.
David also remembered the covenant
he had made with Jonathan, and he
asked if any of Saul’s family were left,
that he might show kindness unto them
for his friend’s sake. Ziba, a servant of
Saul, told him of a ton of Jonathan and
where he was. David sent for him and
said to him I will surely be kind to you
for your father’s sake. I will restore to
you all the land of Saul and you shall eat
at my table continually. David called
Ziba and said to nim, I have given your
master’s son all that belonged to Saul
and his house; now you, your sons and
servants must cultivate bis land, but he
shall live with me as one of. my sons.
So it was all done as David said.

INTRODUCTION.
After the incident of our last lesson, the
Israelites resumed their march, and. passing
round the land of Moab, asked permission oi
Sihon, King of the Amorites, to pass through
his territory. This the king refused, and
gathering his armies, went forth to meet
them and prevent their advance. He was
utterly defeated in his purpose, and all his
cities and villages fell into the bands ol
Israel. Then Og, the King of Bashan, and
his people, attempted to prevent their ad
vance, and were, in like manner, defeated—
their land, also, falling into the hands ol
Israel.
After this the Israelites pitched their tents
in the plains of Moab, on the eastern side oi
Jordan, opposite Jericho. Balak, the Kuig
of the Moabites, became greatly distressed
because of their presence, and sent for Ba
laam, a man endowed with tbe gift ol
prophecy, to come and curse Israel, so that
he might attack and overcome him The
prophet, though eager for gain, was forbid
den by God to go. So the messengers returned
without him Balak, in his anxiety, sent
again, and this time messengers more nu
merous and more honorable than before
This time the Lord permitted him to go, but
with the assurance that it was without his
approval. On the way occurred the incident
of the ass speaking. When he reached Ba
lak be could not utter a single curse against
Israel, but three successive times, from three
different hills, blessed them. Here our lesson
commences.
OUTLINE.
I Balak’s anger, v 10, 11.
11. Balaam’s answer, v. 12-14.
111. Balaam’s prophecy, v. 15 19.
NOTES.
I. Balak’s anger.
V. 10 “Kindled.” Excited to action.
“Against Balaam.” Because he had blessed
Israel instead of cursing him. No doubt the
concluding words of verse 9 had particularly
excited him. “Smote his hands together.”
A method among O. iental people of express
ing disappointment and violent rage. “ I
called thee ” Earnestly, repeatedly and
with promise of reward. “To curse.” To
prophesy evil against them. Among many
nations of antiquity, there existed a custom
of devoting enemies to destruction before
making war upon them. There was also a
belief that prophets and priests had power to
bring curses from the gods whom they
claimed to represent. “ These three times.”
Repeated disappointment.
V. 11. "Flee thou to thy place.” Be off to
your own country as fast as you can. An
impatient, scornful dismissal. “I thought
to promote thee ” See 22.17. It was sin
cere purpose. “The Lord hath kept thee
bick from honor.” A reference to the fre
quent asser’ion of Balaam that he could do
only as the Lord should permit him. There
was in these words an expression of anger
towards the Lord himself, as well astoward-
Balaam. But see how the Lord kept back
Balaam from the honor by keeping him
from committing sin.
11. Balaam’s answer.
V 12. “Spake I not.” To the messengers
whom Balak sent the second time. Ch. 22:18
To the first messengers he had simply said
that the Lord refused to allow him to go.
V. 13 “I cannot go beyond the command
ment of the Lord. He felt that he was
restrained by the Lord. He would, but for
this restraint, havf been willing enough to
serve Balak. “Os mine own mind.” Accord
ing to any wish he might have. He could
not control inspiration, but inspiration con
trolled him. “ That will I speak.” That 1
must speak.
V-14 “I go unto my people,” as you com
mand. “I will advertise thee.” Makeknown
to you. “ Shall do to thy people in the lat
ter days ” What the Israelites should do to
the Moabites in future times. There is an
implied comfort to Balak in these words, in
that what was predicted would not occur in
his day.
111. Balaam’s prophecy.
V. 15 “Parable,” or prophecy in poetic
language. “Whose eyes are open,” so as to
see what others see not.
V 16. “ Which heard the words of God.”
What be is about to say he learned from
God. “Saw the vision of the Almighty:”
Tbe vision of the future of Israel which the
Lord gave to him. “Falling into a trance.”
Literally, lying, that is, in sleep. “ Having
his eyes open.” The eyes of his mind.
V-17. With this verse the prophecy begins.
“ I shall see.” Rather, I do see, “ Him.”
The being to whom the following words
refer. “ But not now.” These words are to
be interpreted by the corresponding words
which follow, viz: “but not nigh.” He sees
him in vision, but he is far off. both in time
and in distance. “ A star.” This term, in
the hieroglyphic language of the East, de->
notes some eminent ruler, as does, also, the
word “ Sceptre.” The reference is to David.
1 Shall smite the corners of Moab.” - The
term "corners,” or border, is here put for the
whole country. 2. Sam 8.2 mentions a lit
eral fulfillment of this as occurring in the
time of David, four hundred and twelve years
after the prediction. “ Destroy all the chil
dren of Sheth.” What is meant here is not
clear. Some think Sheth to have been a
famous king among the Moabites. Others
suppose it to have been a city of Moab
which David utterly destroyed. Others, still,
think that the word was not a proper name,
but an appellative and translate “ the sons
of tumult,” that is, the wild warriors of
Moab.
V. 18 “Edomshall be a possession.” Shall
be subdued and occupied by the ruler pre
dicted. "Seir.” Another name for Edom
This double conquest of Moab and Edom is
referred to in Ps. 60.8 and 108:9
V. 19 “Shall come he.” David. No doubt
the ultimate reference is to the Messiah, who
shall subdue ell nations to himself. “ That
remaineth of the city.” The idea is, that
even those who flee from the open country
into the fortified cities, shad be destroyed.
Balaam was a prophet of the Midianites
and is said, in Num. 22:5, to have resided at
Pethor. The exact location of this place is not
known, but is state:’, in Deut. 23:4, to have
been in Mesopotamia. He speaks of him
self as being “ brought from Aaron out of
the mountains ot the East.” Num. 23 7 He
was probably a descendant of Shem, and
possessed many just ideas of tbe true God.
He was never, however, a true worshiper of
Jehovah, and died among the enemies of
Israel. See Num, 31:8, Josh 13.22,
REMARKS.
"In this lesson we are told how a ba J man
—a man who tried to harm God’s people, so
as to make money out of their harming—
had a glimpse of the coming Jesus. This
shows that God can use a bad man for a good
purpose. It shows, also, that our knowing
the truth does not give us the benefits of the
truth. We may know what God has prom
ised of good—know more about it than our
neighbor—and yet get no gain from that
good, or from our knowledge of it. If ye
know God’s words, happy are ye if ye do
them."
