2 Samuel 6:12-17

The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

12 Now 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.” ^aDavid went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into ^bthe city of David with gladness. 13 And so it was, that when the ^cbearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ^dox and a fatling. 14 And ^eDavid was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was ^{▼▼ Lit girded with
,} ^gwearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

16 Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that ^hMichal 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.

17 So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it ⁱin its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and ^jDavid offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
