Acts 7:46

"which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,"

Key Reflection

This passage highlights the ongoing nature of faith and deliverance through generations. It indicates that the benefits of God’s earlier interventions, such as the conquest by Joshua, continued to impact later generations, setting the stage for the eventual fulfillment of God's promises in the time of King David.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 46. Who found favour. That is, God granted him great him great prosperity, and delivered him from his enemies. To find a tabernacle. To prepare a permanent dwelling place for the ark and for the visible symbols of the Divine Presence. Hitherto the ark had been kept in the tabernacle, and had been borne about from place to place. David sought to build an house that would be permanent, where the ark might be deposited, 2 Sa 7, 1 Ch 22:7. {d} "favour before God" 1 Sa 16:1 {e} "desired to find a tabernacle" 1 Ch 22:7 __________________________________________________________________
