Read in context

2 Samuel 6:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 And David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD,

15 while he and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sounding of the ram’s horn.

16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.

17 So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

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