He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands. Psalm 78:61, NLT
(And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand. Psalm 78:61, KJV)
Is it possible that God’s glory is better off in enemy hands than it is in the hands of his own people?
There was fear and trembling and repentance in the enemy camp. But his own people disregarded His presence; they devalued it and did not allow it to cause them to change their evil ways. ( see I Samuel 4-6)
