2 Samuel 6:13-23
13And so it was, that whenH3588 the 1bearersH5375 of the arkH727 of the LordH3068 had goneH6805 sixH8337 pacesH6806, he sacrificedH2076 an 2oxH7794 and a fatlingH4806. 14And 3DavidH1732 was dancingH3769 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 with allH3605 his mightH5797, and DavidH1732 was 45wearingH2296 a linenH906 ephodH646. 15So DavidH1732 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 were bringingH5927 up the arkH727 of the LordH3068 with shoutingH8643 and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782.
16Then it happenedH1961 as the arkH727 of the LordH3068 cameH935 into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 that 6MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 lookedH8259 out of the windowH2474 and sawH7200 KingH4428 DavidH1732 leapingH6339 and dancingH3769 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; and she despisedH959 him in her heartH3820.
17So they broughtH935 in the arkH727 of the LordH3068 and setH3322 it 7in its placeH4725 insideH8432 the tentH168 whichH834 DavidH1732 had pitchedH5186 for it; and 8DavidH1732 offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 18When DavidH1732 had finishedH3615 offeringH5927 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the peaceH8002 offeringH8002, 9he blessedH1288 the peopleH5971 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 19Further, he distributedH2505 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, to allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478, bothH4480 to menH376 and womenH802, a cakeH2471 of breadH3899 and oneH259 of datesH829 and oneH259 of raisinsH809 to eachH376 oneH376. Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 departedH1980 eachH376 to his houseH1004.
20But when DavidH1732 returnedH7725 to blessH1288 his householdH1004, MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 cameH3318 out to meetH7122 DavidH1732 and saidH559, “HowH4100 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 distinguishedH3513 himself todayH3117! 10He uncoveredH1540 himself todayH3117 in the eyesH5869 of his servants’H5650 maidsH519 as oneH259 of the 11foolishH7386 onesH7386 shamelesslyH1540 uncoversH1540 himself!” 21So DavidH1732 saidH559 to MichalH4324, “12It was beforeH6440 the LordH3068, whoH834 choseH977 me aboveH4480 your fatherH1 and aboveH4480 allH3605 his houseH1004, to appointH6680 me rulerH5057 overH5921 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, overH5921 IsraelH3478; therefore I will celebrateH7832 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 22I will be moreH5750 lightlyH7043 esteemedH7043 thanH4480 thisH2088 and will be humbleH8217 in my own eyesH5869, but with the maidsH519 of whomH834 you have spokenH559, with them I will be distinguishedH3513.” 23MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 hadH1961 noH3808 childH3206 to the dayH3117 of her deathH4194.
