^15:25So David, the leaders of Israel, and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from the house of Obed-Edom with celebration. ^15:26When God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the Lord’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. ^15:27David was wrapped in a linen robe, as were all the Levites carrying the ark, the musicians, and Kenaniah the supervisor of transport and the musicians;¹³ David also wore a linen ephod.¹⁴^15:28All Israel brought up the ark of the Lord’s covenant; they were shouting, blowing trumpets, sounding cymbals, and playing stringed instruments. ^15:29As the ark of the Lord’s covenant entered the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked out the window. When she saw King David jumping and celebrating, she despised him.¹⁵

David Leads in Worship

^16:1They brought the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent David had pitched for it. Then they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings¹ before God. ^16:2When David finished offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the Lord’s name. ^16:3He then handed out to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
