1 Chronicles 15:25–16:1

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

²⁶Because God was helping the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 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, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. ^aDavid also wore an ephod of linen.

²⁸Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the horn, with trumpets, with loud-sounding cymbals, with harps and lyres.

²⁹It happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord 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 offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
