BRAVE LITTLE RUSTY
ROCKY (Enter all children) Say, everybody, let’s play kickball! (Everyone
acts excited) My team will be outfield first and I’ll pitch. (They
split up into two groups and Rocky “rolls” the ball to Rusty who
“kicks” it. The ball is thrown upward behind the stage and the
sound of glass breaking is heard) Oh, no! Let’s get outta here quick,

decided to set up his kingdom in Jerusalem. He took thirty
thousand of his men with him to Gilbeah to bring the Ark of God

God said that the priests were to bear the Ark of God and if anyone
touched it, he would die. The Ark began to shake because of the
smote him for his error. This scared King David, so he brought
the Ark of God to Obed-edom the Gittite and returned to Jerusalem
