View In My Bible
11
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12
And it was told king David, saying , The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
13
And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitcheda for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18
And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said , How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelesslyb uncovereth himself!
21
And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
