2 Samuel 6:8-17
8David became angry because 1of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called 2Perez-uzzah to this day. 9So 3David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of 4Obed-edom the Gittite. 11Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord 5blessed Obed-edom and all his household.
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.” 6David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into 7the city of David with gladness. 13And so it was, that when the 8bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an 9ox and a fatling. 14And 10David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was 1112wearing 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 13Michal 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 14in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and 15David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
