David’s early act as king is to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the new capital city, Jerusalem, in 2 Samuel 6. In the midst of this great celebration, two tragedies occur: Uzzah dies seeking to protect the Ark from falling and Michal is cursed for her cynicism. The answer to the terrifying events that bookend this chapter is expressed in David’s oddly permissible priestly acts.

Jesus addresses this selfish attitude by redefining what it means to be great and what it means to serve, presenting Himself as the ultimate example.
