The ark of God was moved to Mount Zion and “worship” continued as before on Mount Gibeon without the ark – the presence of God. There are some people who get used to doing things one way. Only one particular routine becomes acceptable and any changes bring resentment. Likely human personalities will swing wide their gates to be used in a Michal-style resentment (2Sam.6:20). That resentment is not portrayed simply because it is the right of each American to express how they feel. It is made known as an intimidation. “Back off or you will get more of this.” Please allow me to point out the response scripture records that David had for Michal: And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour (2Sam 6:22). And this was David’s motivation in worship: “And David said unto Michal, It was BEFORE THE LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: THEREFORE I WILL PLAY BEFORE THE LORD” (2Sam 6:21). (1.) He had a motivation for worship and for change; (2.) His motivation was correct; (3.) His motivation was his courage.

Sanballat, who was pointing the finger and doing the name-calling, was from a city of Moab. Great recommendation! What does he know about promise? Moab is the place in the Bible where all manner of murmuring went on. Furthermore, the foundation of the nation of Moab is incest (Gen 19:37). Incestuous thought cycles (thoughts that never receive any input from any other source) produce little or contaminated revelation which curses coming generations. There are people who only think thoughts that have been thought by their little group. They never receive anything from anyone outside their little circle of sameness. They rarely entertain a fresh thought. Isn’t that just typical? Typically, the people who proclaim that “this” is not a move of God or “that” couldn’t be God wouldn’t know a move of God if it came down Main Street wearing a red hat!
