10So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.
12And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.
13And when those who were lifting the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, he made an offering of an ox and a fat young beast.
14And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength.
15So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.
16And when the ark of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord; and to her mind he seemed foolish.
