25 So David1732, and the elders2205 of Israel3478, and the captains8269 over thousands505, went1980 to bring up5927 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 out of the house1004 of Obededom5654 with joy8057. 26 And it came to pass, when God430 helped5826 the Levites3881 that bare5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068, that they offered2076 seven7651 bullocks6499 and seven7651 rams352. 27 And David1732 was clothed3736 with a robe4598 of fine linen948, and all the Levites3881 that bare5375 the ark727, and the singers7891, and Chenaniah3663 the master8269 of the song4853 with the singers7891: David1732 also had upon him an ephod646 of linen906.⁶ 28 Thus all Israel3478 brought up5927 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 with shouting8643, and with sound6963 of the cornet7782, and with trumpets2689, and with cymbals4700, making a noise8085 with psalteries5035 and harps3658. 29 And it came to pass, as the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 came935 to the city5892 of David1732, that Michal4324 the daughter1323 of Saul7586 looking out8259 at a window2474 saw7200 king4428 David1732 dancing7540 and playing7832: and she despised959 him in her heart3820.
