2 Samuel 6:12-23

6:12

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>_,

and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

and brought up
<05927> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

from the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

with gladness
<08057>_.

6:13

And it was [so], that when they that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

had gone
<06805> (8804)

six
<08337>

paces
<06806>_,

he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fatlings
<04806>_.

6:14

And David
<01732>

danced
<03769> (8772)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

with all [his] might
<05797>_;

and David
<01732>

[was] girded
<02296> (8803)

with a linen
<0906>

ephod
<0646>_.

6:15

So David
<01732>

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

brought up
<05927> (8688)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

with shouting
<08643>_,

and with the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

6:16

And as the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

looked
<08259> (8738)

through a window
<02474>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

leaping
<06339> (8764)

and dancing
<03769> (8772)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and she despised
<0959> (8799)

him in her heart
<03820>_.

6:17

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

in the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and set
<03322> (8686)

it in his place
<04725>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

that David
<01732>

had pitched
<05186> (8804)

for it: and David
<01732>

offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

{pitched: Heb. stretched}

6:18

And as soon as David
<01732>

had made an end
<03615> (8762)

of offering
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>_,

he blessed
<01288> (8762)

the people
<05971>

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

6:19

And he dealt
<02505> (8762)

among all the people
<05971>_,

[even] among the whole multitude
<01995>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as well to the women
<0802>

as men
<0376>_,

to every one
<0376>

a
<0259>

cake
<02471>

of bread
<03899>_,

and a good piece
<0829>

[of flesh], and a flagon
<0809>

[of wine]. So all the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_.

6:20

Then David
<01732>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to bless
<01288> (8763)

his household
<01004>_.

And Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>

came out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How glorious
<03513> (8738)

was the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

to day
<03117>_,

who uncovered
<01540> (8738)

himself to day
<03117>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the handmaids
<0519>

of his servants
<05650>_,

as one
<0259>

of the vain fellows
<07386>

shamelessly
<01540> (8736)

uncovereth
<01540> (8736)

himself! {shamelessly: or, openly}

6:21

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Michal
<04324>_,

[It was] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

which chose
<0977> (8804)

me before thy father
<01>_,

and before all his house
<01004>_,

to appoint
<06680> (8763)

me ruler
<05057>

over the people
<05971>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

over Israel
<03478>_:

therefore will I play
<07832> (8765)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:22

And I will yet be more vile
<07043> (8738)

than thus
<02063>_,

and will be base
<08217>

in mine own sight
<05869>_:

and of the maidservants
<0519>

which thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)

of, of them shall I be had in honour
<03513> (8735)_.

{of the...: or, of the handmaids of my servants}

6:23

Therefore Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>

had no child
<02056> (8675) <03206>

unto the day
<03117>

of her death
<04194>_.
