Episode notes

The ark contains the broken commandments that will go in the tabernacle and eventually into the temple. The high priest alone can enter and minister and sprinkle blood on the horns of the mercy seat, which is the seat of propitiation. That's the king we need, the king with the ark who forgives. God mercifully uses their sin to give them a human king through whom the Messiah will come.

Though the Israelites recalled the monarchy as their “glory days,” even their most noteworthy kings were messy, complicated, and oftentimes disappointing in their actions. So why do we need their stories? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland wrestle with the challenges and significance of the first three monarchs in Israel’s history: Saul, David, and Solomon.
