11 And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Ed-Om the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

12 And when they reported to King David, saying, "The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had, for the sake of the ark of God," David went and carried the ark of God in triumph from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David.

13 And when those who carried the ark of the Lord walked six paces, he sacrificed a bull and a ram.

14 David galloped with all his might before the Lord; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel carried the ark of the LORD with shouts and trumpets.

16 And it came to pass, as the ark of the Lord entered into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tabernacle which David had built for it; And David offered burnt offerings before the Lord, and peace-offerings.

18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts;

19 And he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both men and women, one loaf of bread, and a piece of roast meat, and one cake to each. And all the people went, every man to his own house.

20 And when David returned to bless his house, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet him, and said, How the king of Israel distinguished himself this day, when he was naked this day before the eyes of the handmaidservants of his servants, how a vain man is naked.

21 And David said to Michal, 'In the sight of the Lord, who hath preferred me to thy father, and to all his house, having established me as the leader of the people of the Lord Israel; I will play and dance before the Lord;

22 And I shall be still more humble, and shall be made more insignificant in my sight, and in the sight of the handmaidens of whom thou speakest, I shall be glorified.

23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no children until the day of her death.
