2 Samuel 6:12-19

Names of God Bible

¹² King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed Obed Edom’s home and everything he owns because of the ark of Elohim.” Then David joyfully went to get the ark of Elohim from Obed Edom’s house and bring it to the City of David. ¹³ When those who carried the ark of Yahweh had gone six steps, David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.

¹⁴ Wearing a linen ephod,^[a] David danced in Yahweh’s presence with all his might. ¹⁵ He and the entire nation of Israel brought the ark of Yahweh with shouts of joy and the sounding of rams’ horns. ¹⁶ When the ark of Yahweh came to the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked out of a window and saw King David leaping and dancing in Yahweh’s presence, so she despised him.

¹⁷ The men carrying the ark set it in its place inside the tent David had put up for it. David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in Yahweh’s presence. ¹⁸ When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh Tsebaoth. ¹⁹ He also distributed to all the people—to the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women—one loaf of bread, one date cake, and one raisin cake. Then all the people went home.
