First Reading
2 Samuel 6:12b-15, 17-19
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
17And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
18And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19And he distributed to all the crowd of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house.
