006:009 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, How shall
the ark of Yahweh come to me?
006:010 So David would not remove the ark of Yahweh to him into
the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house
of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
006:011 The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom
the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom,
and all his house.
006:012 It was told king David, saying, Yahweh has blessed the house
of Obed-Edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark
of God. David went and brought up the ark of God from the house
of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.
006:013 It was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yahweh had gone
six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
006:014 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was
girded with a linen ephod.
006:015 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh
with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
006:016 It was so, as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David,
that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window,
and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh;
and she despised him in her heart.
006:017 They brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place,
in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David
offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
006:018 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering
and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name
of Yahweh of Armies.
006:019 He dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude
of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a cake
of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins.
So all the people departed everyone to his house.
006:020 Then David returned to bless his household.
Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said,
How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered
himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants,
as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!
006:021 David said to Michal, [It was] before Yahweh, who chose me
above your father, and above all his house, to appoint
me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel:
therefore will I play before Yahweh.
006:022 I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my
own sight: but of the handmaids of whom you have spoken,
they shall honor me.
006:023 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
007:001 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh
had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
007:002 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell
in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
