What were the contents of the ark of the covenant? At first inspection, I Kings 8:9 and Hebrews 9:4 seem to contradict each other.

The Philistines killed 30,000 Israelite men, which is described as a “great slaughter.”. Joshua 10:10, Judges 11:33, and II Samuel 18:7 also reveal that a “great slaughter” involves the death of thousands and thousands. Despite this abundant evidence, mistaken scholars will not be convinced. Their ideas serve only to discredit the ...

Changes appear in the Prophets and the Psalms, often called the Writings. Now the original order of the Prophets. Note how books are divided and sub-divided:
Another clear example of music’s proper use is when the angels “shouted for joy” and “sang together” in unison when they first saw the earth’s foundations laid (Job 38:7). Since they understood God’s purpose for music, this was how the angels expressed their joy, awe and thankfulness for God’s creation.
God’s throne is one of incredible quality, both in materials used and appearance. While ancient Israel wandered in the wilderness, the earthly representation of God’s throne was included in the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant. Read Exodus 25-27 and notice the incredible quality of the supplies that were used to construct them both.
When the Ark of the Covenant was returned to Israel, David, a man after God’s own heart, “danced before the Lord with all his might” (II Sam. 6:14).
