couldn't help myself...

"(1 Chronicles 1:1-4)

1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 4and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters. 5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."

Either days were shorter in those days or, [this is what I believe] humans were closer to being perfect in body than we are today. They did have a free will, mind you.

6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the LORD in this manner: 8 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.....

33 Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. 34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

The tent [tarbancle] was housing the Ark of The Covenant before David's son Solomon had build a temple for God. That covenant was broken by Israelites when they agreed to put Jesus to death. They were in a poor spiritual state and didn't recognize that Jesus was their Messiah [anointed one, God's son]. For that reason, they were not under God's protection as a nation that belonged to him ever since.
