2 Samuel 6:12-16
New International Version
12 Now King David(A) was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed(B) a bull and a fattened calf. 14 Wearing a linen ephod,(C) David was dancing(D) before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts(E) and the sound of trumpets.(F)
16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,(G) Michal(H) daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
