¹⁷ So ^(A)they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in ^(B)its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David ^(C)offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

⁴ Then they brought up the ark of the Lord, ^(A)the ^[a]tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

²⁵ So ^(A)David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom with joy. ²⁶ And so it was, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams. ²⁷ David was clothed with a robe of fine ^(B)linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod. ^28 (C)Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making music with stringed instruments and harps.

²⁹ And it happened, ^(D)as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music; and she despised him in her heart.
