1 Chronicles 15:25–16:3

²⁵So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of the thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-edom with rejoicing.^{* 26}And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. ²⁷David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers, and David wore a linen ephod. ²⁸So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and made loud music on harps and lyres.^*

²⁹As the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing, and she despised him in her heart.^*

The Ark Placed in the Tent

¹⁶They brought in the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and offerings of well-being before God.^{* 2}When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the offerings of well-being, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord, ³and he distributed to every person in Israel—man and woman alike—to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat,^x and a cake of raisins.
