If you had asked God for direction twice and He gave you some which you followed and the end result was disaster -- would you ask Him a third time? This passage is an incredible lesson for each of us as it was for the Israelites. Join us on YouTube as we study it together. https://youtu.be/g-0FWC_Fc4M

It always seemed strange to me that God told them to go 3 times with the first 2 times resulting in failure. As you so well explained, they needed to be persistent in their repentance and confession to God and God had to try them this number of times in order to put them in the right frame of mind for victory. Thanks for making this clear.
Thanks Bob. You are most right as to what God wanted to do with them. Blessings.
