English Standard Version

¹² And it was told King David, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” ^(A)So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom ^(B)to the city of David with rejoicing. ¹³ And when ^(C)those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, ^(D)he sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal. ¹⁴ And David ^(E)danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was ^(F)wearing a linen ephod. ¹⁵ So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn.

¹⁶ As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.
