2 Samuel 6:12–19

¹²Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” ^mSo David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. ¹³And so it was, when ⁿthose bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed ^ooxen and fatted sheep. ¹⁴Then David ^pdanced ⁷before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing ^qa linen ephod. ^15rSo David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

¹⁶Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, ^sMichal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. ¹⁷So ^tthey brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in ^uits place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David ^voffered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. ¹⁸And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, ^whe blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. ^19xThen he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.
