2 Samuel 6:11-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

12. When it was reported to King David that the Lord had blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he possessed because of the ark of God, David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with joy.

13. As soon as the bearers of the ark of the Lord had advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

14. Then David came dancing before the Lord with abandon, girt with a linen ephod.

15. David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and sound of horn.

16. As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked down from her window, and when she saw King David jumping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
