2 Samuel 6:13-23

13And so it was, that when the 1bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an 2ox and a fatling. 14And 3David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was 45wearing 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 6Michal 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 7in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and 8David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, 9he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

20But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! 10He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the 11foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21So David said to Michal, “12It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord. 22I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.” 23Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
