圣经David also gathered thirty thousand selected people from Israel.
David stood up and led the people who followed him to bring the Ark of God from Barajudah. This ark is the ark of the covenant left by the Lord of hosts, who sits on the two cherubim.
They took the Ark of God out of the house of Abinadab on the hill and placed it on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, drove the new car.
When they brought out the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on the hill, Ahio walked in front of the ark.
David and all the families of Israel danced and played with all kinds of instruments made of pine wood, including harps, lyres, drums, cymbals, and gongs, before the Lord.
When they arrived at the threshing ground of Nagon, Uzzah reached out and supported the ark of God because the ox had lost its front hoof.
The Lord God was angry with Uzzah and killed him for this mistake, and he died by the ark of God.
David was troubled by the Lord’s attack on Uzzah, and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
On that day, David feared the Lord and said, How can the Ark of the Lord be brought to me.
So David refused to bring the ark of the Lord into his city, but it was brought to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
The ark of the Lord was in the house of Obededom the Gittite for three months. The Lord blessed Obededom and his entire family.
Someone told King David that the Lord has blessed the house of Obededom and all that belongs to him because of the Ark. David went and joyfully carried the Ark of God from the house of Obededom to David’s city.
The people who carried the ark of the Lord took six steps, and David offered oxen and fat sheep as sacrifices.
David danced vigorously before the Lord, wearing a linen ephod.
So David and all the families of Israel cheered and blew the horn, and brought up the ark of the Lord.
When the Ark of the Lord entered the city of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked out of the window and saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord, and her heart despised him.
The people brought in the ark of the Lord and placed it in the prepared place, which was in the tent that David had set up. David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
After David finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts,
And he distributed to all Israel, male and female, one loaf of bread, one piece of meat, and one grape cake. So everyone went back to their respective homes.
David is going home to bless his family. Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him and said, “The king of Israel has revealed his body today in the eyes of his servants, just like a lowly man who shamelessly revealed his body. What great glory!”.
David said to Michal, “This is before the Lord.”. The Lord has chosen me, deposed your father and all your father’s house, and made me ruler over the people of Israel, the Lord. Therefore, I will dance before the Lord.
I will also be even more humble, seeing myself as despicable. The maids you mentioned should respect me.
Michal, the daughter of Saul, did not bear any children until the day of her death.
