March 26, 2024 Bible Study — A Connection Between the Levites and King David

Today, I am reading and commenting on Judges 17-19.

I am unsure what the significance is, but the first thing I noticed was that Bethlehem in Judah played a supporting role in both of these accounts.  In the account of Micah, his Levite, and the tribe of Dan, the Levite was from Bethlehem in Judah.  In the second account of the Levite and his concubine, his concubine was from Bethlehem in Judah.  The fact that both of these stories involve a Levite traveling from King David’s hometown tells us that there was a significant population of Levites living in Bethlehem during the pre-kingdom time of Israel.  That would certainly have played a role in David growing up with faith in God.  There is much to be learned by thinking about these accounts, and if you would like a little more about that try reading what I wrote in 2022: March 26, 2022 Bible Study — Idolatry And Betrayal

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
