2 Samuel 6:20-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 When David returned home to bless his household,(A) Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel honored himself today!” she said. “He exposed himself today in the sight of the slave girls of his subjects like a vulgar person would expose himself.”
21 David replied to Michal, “I was dancing[a] before the Lord who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel.(B) I will celebrate before the Lord, 22 and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself.[b][c] I will be honored by the slave girls you spoke about.” 23 And Saul’s daughter Michal had no child to the day of her death.

New Living Translation
20 When David returned home to bless his own family, Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said in disgust, “How distinguished the king of Israel looked today, shamelessly exposing himself to the servant girls like any vulgar person might do!”
21 David retorted to Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord. 22 Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!” 23 So Michal, the daughter of Saul, remained childless throughout her entire life.
