1 Chronicles 15:25–16:3

^25aSo it was David, with the elders of Israel and the commanders over thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from ^bthe house of Obed-edom with gladness.

²⁶Now this happened because God was helping the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. And they sacrificed ^aseven bulls and seven rams.

²⁷Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. ^aDavid also wore a linen ephod.

²⁸Thus all Israel was bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the ¹horn, with trumpets, with loud-sounding cymbals, with harps, and lyres.

²⁹Now it happened as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, that ^aMichal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and celebrating; and she despised him in her heart.

CHAPTER 16

A Tent for the Ark

¹And they brought in the ark of God and ^aplaced it inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and they brought burnt offerings and peace offerings near before God.

²Then David completed offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings. And he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.

³And he apportioned to everyone of Israel, both men and women, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.
