2 Samuel 6:12-15
New English Translation

12 King David was told,[a] “The Lord has blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything he owns because of the ark of God.” So David went and joyfully brought the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David. 13 Those who carried the ark of the Lord took six steps and then David[b] sacrificed an ox and a fatling calf. 14 Now David, wearing a linen ephod, was dancing with all his strength before the Lord.[c] 15 David and all Israel[d] were bringing up the ark of the Lord, shouting and blowing trumpets.[e]
