2 Samuel 6:12-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² It was reported to King David: “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s family and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from Obed-edom’s house to the city of David with rejoicing.^{(A) 13} When those carrying the ark of the Lord advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.^{(B) 14} David was dancing^[a] with all his might before the Lord wearing a linen ephod.^{(C) 15} He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of the ram’s horn. ¹⁶ As the ark of the Lord was entering the city of David,^(D) Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.
