Then King David was told,“ The Lord has blessed Obed edom’s household and everything he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went there and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed edom to the City of David with a great celebration.After the men who were carrying the Ark of the Lord had gone six steps, David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment.So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams’ horns.But as the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she was filled with contempt for him.They brought the Ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the special tent David had prepared for it. And David sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord.When he had finished his sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.Then he gave to every Israelite man and woman in the crowd a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people returned to their homes.When David returned home to bless his own family, Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said in disgust,“ How distinguished the king of Israel looked today, shamelessly exposing himself to the servant girls like any vulgar person might do!”David retorted to Michal,“ I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord.Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!”So Michal, the daughter of Saul, remained childless throughout her entire life.

David was angry because the Lord’s anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez uzzah( which means“ to burst out against Uzzah”), as it is still called today.David was now afraid of God, and he asked,“ How can I ever bring the Ark of God back into my care?”So David did not move the Ark into the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed edom of Gath.The Ark of God remained there in Obed edom’s house for three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed edom and everything he owned.
