2 Samuel 6:12–19

¹²Now King David^q was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. ¹³When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed^r a bull and a fattened calf. ¹⁴Wearing a linen ephod,^s David was dancing^t before the Lord with all his might, ¹⁵while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts^u and the sound of trumpets.^v

¹⁶As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,^w Michal^x 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.

¹⁷They 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 offerings^z and fellowship offerings before the Lord. ¹⁸After he had finished sacrificing^a the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed^b the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. ¹⁹Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins^c to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.^d And all the people went to their homes.
