12. King David was told, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God's ark."So David went and brought up God's ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David's city with joy.

13. When those who bore The LORD's ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

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

15. So David and all the house of Israel brought up The LORD's ark with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16. As The LORD's ark came into David's city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before The LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17. They brought in The LORD's ark, and set it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before The LORD.

18. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

19. He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.
