2 Samuel 6:8-17
8Then David became angry because 1of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah; and that place has been 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. 11The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord 5blessed Obed-edom and all his household.
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.” 6So David went and brought the ark of God up from the house of Obed-edom to 7the city of David with joy. 13And so it was, that 8when 9those carrying the ark of the Lord marched six paces, he sacrificed an 10ox and a fattened steer. 14And 11David was dancing before the Lord with all his strength, and David was 12wearing 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 13Michal 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 14in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and 15David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
