13 апр 1093 г. до нашей эры - Sauls 2nd Year - Brings the Ark to War - again!

Описание:

1 Sam 13/1
During Saul's second year (and I am taking the liberty to place it early in the Hebrew year because of the spring-early Summer fine weather.
Saul is facing the Philistines and had a quick but small victory in v2 after which the Philistines raised a larger army of some 30,000 tanks, 6,000 artillery and 'innumerable' troops.

This caused Saul and his troops some concern v7 and after summoning Samuel to offer a burnt offering, couldn't wait for Samuel to arrive and took on the role of Priest himself and made the offering - immediately after which, Samuel showed up.

Samuel roundly chastised Saul and advised him that because of this evil his Kingdom would not continue and would be given to another whose heart was like Gods heart v14.

Shortly after Samuel leaves, Jonathan and his armourbearer decide on a secret war mission to the Philistines (14/1) which in turn stirs up the 'hornets nest'.
The Philistines retreat in dismay causing a great 'thunder' of the earth 14/15.

Saul completely misreads the situation again and sees the Philistines retreating and thinks that somehow it would be a good idea to go get the ark for a second time and use it as a magic talisman to assist him in his war effort.

The Ark has been in the house of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearim for some 20 years undisturbed (1 Sam 7/1-2)
