2 Samuel 6:12-20

12Now it was reported to 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.” 1So David went and brought the ark of God up from the house of Obed-edom to 2the city of David with joy. 13And so it was, that 3when 4those carrying the ark of the Lord marched six paces, he sacrificed an 5ox and a fattened steer. 14And 6David was dancing before the Lord with all his strength, and David was 7wearing a linen ephod. 15So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with joyful shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

16Then it happened, as the ark of the Lord was coming into the city of David, that 8Michal the daughter of Saul looked down through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she was contemptuous of him in her heart.

17Now 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. 18When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, 11he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of armies. 19Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread, one of dates, and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people left, each to his house.

20But when David returned to bless his own household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel dignified himself today! For 12he exposed himself today in the sight of his servants’ female slaves, as one of the 13rabble shamelessly exposes himself!”
