12 And it was told to King David saying: 'The Lord has blessed the house of Oved-edom, and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Oved-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 And it was when the bearers of the ark of God had trodden six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14 And David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of [the] shofar.
16 And [as] the ark of the Lord came [into] the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul peered through the window, and she saw the king David hopping and dancing before the Lord; and she loathed him in her heart.
II Samuel 6:14-16
