Read 1 Samuel 6
Think About It:
- Why did God inflict tumors afterthe ark was brought to Philistine? Couldn’t He have just as easily inflicted something on the men carrying the ark to Ashdod?

Memory Verse: 1 Samuel 6:13
- The ark held great power. Why would the Philistines, enemies of Israel, want to give it back to the Israelites?
- What test did the Philistines devise to see if the ark and Israel’s God were the source of their troubles?
- In verse 19, what did the people do that caused them to be struck down by God? (This example shows that we cannot try to use God’s power for our own purposes. The people of Beth Shemesh disregarded God’s requirements and God would not allow this disrespect.)
