13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificedr a bull and a fattened calf. 14 Wearing a linen ephod,s David was dancingt before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shoutsu and the sound of trumpets.v

16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,w Michalx daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it,y and David sacrificed burnt offeringsz and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificinga the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessedb the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisinsc to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.d And all the people went to their homes.
