Israel and the Philistines are both pressed for living space. This has led to war, but the Philistines have been dominating Israel from the time of Samson. When Israel experienced a fresh defeat on the battlefield, they decided to bring God's Box -The ark of the Covenant- to the front lines. It proved disastrous. As remote for our times as this story is, it has much to say to us about what it means to follow Christ.
