New American Standard Bible 1995

2 Samuel 6:12-17

12Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” 1David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into 2the city of David with gladness. 13And so it was, that when the 3bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an 4ox and a fatling. 14And 5David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was 6 7wearing a linen ephod. 15So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

16Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that 8Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

17So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it 9in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and 10David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
