2 Samuel 6:18-23 Good News Bible (GNB)

18. When he had finished offering the sacrifices, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty

19. and distributed food to them all. He gave each man and woman in Israel a loaf of bread, a piece of roasted meat, and some raisins. Then everyone went home.

20. Afterwards, when David went home to greet his family, Michal came out to meet him. “The king of Israel made a big name for himself today!” she said. “He exposed himself like a fool in the sight of the servant women of his officials!”

21. David answered, “I was dancing to honour the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and his family to make me the leader of his people Israel. And I will go on dancing to honour the Lord,

22. and will disgrace myself even more. You may think I am nothing, but those women will think highly of me!”

23. Michal, Saul's daughter, never had any children.
