Context of 2 Samuel 6:15

13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of Yhwh had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. 14And David danced before Yhwh with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yhwh with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 16And as the ark of Yhwh came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yhwh; and she despised him in her heart. 17And they brought in the ark of Yhwh, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yhwh.
