²⁸And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.

²⁹And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.

Chapter 16

So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.

²And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

³And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
